Surgery
Surgery may sometimes be appropriate for patients with:
- Lumbar disc herniation or degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis from lumbar disc herniation, degenerative joint disease, or spondylolisthesis
- Scoliosis
- Compression fracture
Failed back syndrome refers to cases where back pain persists despite correction of what might seem to be otherwise obvious anatomical derangement (such as herniated disk). While the causes are numerous, weather sensitive pain (due to involvement of the sympathetic nervous system) isnt commonly thought of but does commonly occur. See RSD, CRPS.
