Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) affects thousands of people every year—patients who undergo spine surgery with the hope of finally being pain-free, only to discover that their symptoms never fully resolved or gradually returned. This can be incredibly frustrating, but here is the important truth:

➡️ In many cases, the surgery was successful… but the patient is still in pain because the true pain generator was never fully addressed.

At Central Jersey Spine & Wellness in Freehold, NJ, we use SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) to help patients suffering from post-surgical back pain finally identify the source of their discomfort and activate a powerful regenerative healing response—without drugs, injections, or additional surgery.

What Causes Failed Back Surgery Syndrome?

Even the most skilled surgeons can only treat the structures identified on imaging or during the procedure. But back pain is often far more complex.

Common contributors to FBSS include:

• Scar tissue formation around nerves

• Residual or undiagnosed disc injury

• Facet joint inflammation or degeneration

• Ligament or tendon injury not corrected during surgery

• Myofascial dysfunction

• Adjacent segment disease (new stress placed on surrounding vertebrae)

• Persistent nerve irritation

In many of the FBSS cases we see at our Freehold office, the spine surgery itself healed exactly as intended. The problem is that the actual source of the patient’s pain was never fully identified—because MRI and X-ray imaging cannot always pinpoint injured tissues or irritated nerves.

This is where SoftWave TRT becomes a breakthrough.

How SoftWave TRT Helps Identify the True Pain Source After Surgery

One of the most remarkable aspects of SoftWave TRT is its diagnostic capability.

When the SoftWave applicator glides over damaged or inflamed tissue,
➡️ the treated area produces a unique, unmistakable response,
allowing Dr. Gerard DeBernardis to precisely locate the structures still causing pain—even when imaging appears normal.

This makes SoftWave TRT particularly valuable for post-surgical patients who have been told:

• “Your MRI looks fine.”

• “Nothing else can be done.”

• “Your surgical outcome was successful.”

Yet the patient still hurts every day.

SoftWave TRT reveals hidden dysfunction that traditional diagnostics often miss.

How SoftWave TRT Stimulates True Healing After Spine Surgery

SoftWave TRT is FDA-cleared, non-invasive shockwave technology that:

• Activates the body’s own stem cells and regenerative cells

• Promotes deep tissue repair and regeneration

• Increases blood flow and angiogenesis

• Reduces inflammation and nerve irritation

• Breaks up scar tissue and fascial adhesions

• Helps restore normal biomechanics of the spine

Post-surgical tissues often heal incompletely due to poor blood supply or scar adhesion.
SoftWave wakes up dormant cells, mobilizes stem cells to the injured area, and triggers a healing cascade that helps the body finally repair the tissues that surgery did not address.

Patients frequently report:

• Reduced nerve pain

• Decreased stiffness

• Improved mobility

• Increased tolerance for sitting, standing, or walking

• Long-lasting relief—not temporary numbing

SoftWave TRT vs. Pain Medications & Opioids for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Many FBSS patients are told to rely on:

• Pain pills

• Anti-inflammatory drugs

• Muscle relaxers

• Nerve medications

• Opioids

The problem?

These medications do NOT fix the underlying condition.

They often come with risks:

• GI problems

• Liver/kidney burden

• Dependency and addiction

• Decreased long-term effectiveness

• Sleep disruption or brain fog

SoftWave TRT offers a far superior alternative because:

✔ It targets the source of the pain

✔ It stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms

✔ It provides long-term, regenerative results

✔ It avoids the side effects of medications and opioids

SoftWave is now used by top hospitals, orthopedic centers, professional sports organizations, and regenerative medicine specialists worldwide because of its unmatched ability to accelerate healing.
