Helpful Information About Our Post Surgery Back Pain Treatment
Who Is The Post Surgery Back Pain Treatment For?
Our Reset Injections are effective in patients with failed back surgery disease. This condition occurs if the pain that was present before the surgery is felt again. Additionally, some patients describe a new pain in a different area after the surgery or some new burning pain in the scar and legs. Reset Injections may be right for you if the same lower back pain from before your operation is present after the surgery, you have a new burning pain in your back or legs, you have back pain in a different area that didn’t exist pre-operation, and or a new feeling of weakness and numbness in your legs. Patients should consider Reset Injections after they have been examined by a spine surgeon and no other treatment options are available or offered.

Do you accept medicare or any other type of medical insurance ?
There is no insurance billing code for Reset treatment at this stage, so we cannot legally bill your insurance for your procedure. Patients with F.S.A ( Flexible spending account )or H.S.A ( health savings account) health insurance plans might cover the Reset treatment.
What are the side effects of the Reset Treatment?
So far we have not encountered any side effects. Like with any injection, there is always a risk of infection from the needle or allergic reaction to the medications.
How do Reset Injections work?
At RESET Pain Center, we have discovered that hyperactive pain receptors cause pain. These hyperactive centers will vary per patient and by condition. Locating these hyperactive pain receptors is at the heart of our novel treatment. Once found, a series of injections will reset the activity of those pain receptors back to normal. As a result, our novel treatment decreases the pain almost instantaneously, with patients feeling significant relief by the time they leave RESET Pain Center.

Results We Have Observed
87.3% of patients with failed back surgery syndrome treated with Reset Injections report pain relief with an increased ability to perform daily activities. Patients share being able to get a good night’s sleep because the pain they do feel is minimal. Additionally, patients add that they use fewer pain medications due to the decrease in chronic pain. When pain medications are needed, they are able to take lower doses.
About The Treatment
We measure the activity of the hyperactive nerve endings on a scale from 1 to 10. If the nerve endings are more hyperactive and near a ten, we use more and stronger medication. The medications injected vary with the severity of the pain and the disease causing the pain. However, we never use steroids or opioids in our injections.
Additionally, since we prioritize the comfort of our patients, we use the smallest needles available.
After the Reset Injections, patients recover for 10 to 20 minutes before they are discharged from the center.
