When a surgery doesn't deliver the relief you were promised - or the pain comes back - it's exhausting and discouraging. That happens after spine surgery, and it happens after knee, hip, and shoulder surgery too. A second opinion and the right diagnosis can still change everything.
Failed and post-surgery pain happens when pain persists after a previous surgery - most often spine surgery, but also after a total knee or shoulder replacement, or knee, hip, and shoulder procedures. Sometimes there's temporary relief that fades; other times symptoms worsen, or the pain migrates into the legs or lower back. It's frustrating - but it's also more common than most patients realize, and it's treatable.
The most common sign is returning pain following surgery, along with an inability to get back to your daily activities. Whatever the cause, the first step to becoming pain-free is an accurate diagnosis.
Persistent pain after an operation is not limited to the spine. Our physicians commonly see patients whose pain followed one of these procedures:
Before recommending anything, our physicians take a careful second look - reviewing your symptoms, your full medical history, and updated imaging - to identify what's actually driving the pain this time. Once everything is reviewed, your physician outlines a treatment plan specific to your needs. Our double board-certified pain specialists are among the region's leaders in minimally invasive procedures and pain management.
We also provide custom treatment for patients living with pain after other procedures - including post-knee replacement pain, post-hip replacement pain, and failed back surgery syndrome.

I can't say enough great things about IPA! From the moment I walked in, the staff was kind, attentive, and incredibly professional. Dr. Garitty took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel truly cared for. I've seen a real improvement in my pain and overall quality of life thanks to their treatment plan. The office is clean, welcoming, and always runs on time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for compassionate, expert care!
I just love Lara Turk and her assistants. Ms. Turk is very informative and explains things to where I can understand. She seems to genuinely care about her patients. She takes the time to really listen to me. I would refer her to everyone I know. Keep up the excellent work Ms.Turk. I would also like to acknowledge one of the front desk receptionist. I'll remember her name in a few. She is always so nice when scheduling my appointments and even remembers my birthday. Her name is Kalin. She's wonderful
Great service...I have recommend IPA to several veterans and friends. I miss my previous doctor but my current doctor (Puri) is excellent. He treat my 91 yr old dad too. Melanie (NP) treat my wife and me she is awesome.. MS Karisha is the best receptionist they had in awhile. She has trained the other young ladies and they provide great customer service. The surgery center is also great especially Serina. I have given several names you should try to see. I have been coming here since 2015. I stand by my recommendation. Hardy
