Failed Back Syndrome, also known as Post-Laminectomy Syndrome, refers to persistent or recurring back and leg pain following spinal surgery. This complex condition affects many patients in Los Angeles who have undergone prior spine procedures but continue to experience debilitating symptoms. At the Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A., Dr. Padra Gad Nourparvar combines his board certification and extensive training in regenerative medicine to offer innovative, non-surgical treatment options in Beverly Hills. Patients from the greater Los Angeles area–including West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Brentwood–trust Dr. Nourparvar’s advanced PRP and stem cell therapies for effective relief and improved function.
I had horrible problems with my L5/S1 lower back and found the PRO institute. I promised I would write a follow up review. I’m actually a little freaked out because I’m about 80-90% back to normal. I love doing spin, yoga, Pilates and I feel like I’m back without post workout pain. I’m still careful but I’m literally amazed that I rarely have pain.
What is Failed Back Syndrome (Post-Laminectomy Syndrome)?
Failed Back Syndrome describes ongoing or new pain following lumbar spine surgery such as laminectomy or discectomy. Causes include scar tissue formation, nerve damage, spinal instability, or recurrent disc herniation. Symptoms typically include:
- Persistent lower back and leg pain
- Numbness or weakness in the legs
- Difficulty walking or standing
- Reduced quality of life
Addressing Failed Back Syndrome can be challenging, but regenerative medicine offers promising alternatives to additional surgery.

Regenerative Treatment Options for Failed Back Syndrome
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP injections harness your body’s own healing factors to target inflammation and encourage nerve and soft tissue repair in the operated spinal region.
Autologous Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cells derived from your bone marrow or adipose tissue stimulate regeneration of damaged nerves, discs, and connective tissue, aiding long-term recovery.
Both treatments are outpatient, performed with imaging guidance at our Beverly Hills facility to ensure precision and comfort.
