Psychological assessment of the risk factors before for any surgical treatment for back pain reduces this risk and it is becoming the standard of care for best medical practice.
Medicare and many other insurance companies now require pre-surgical psychological assessment before surgery of back pain, or surgery to implant devices such as stimulators of spinal cord or pain pumps.

This is because stress and emotions are not only "feelings" that our minds. Stress and emotions have direct biochemical effects in your brain and your body.
Stress and emotions are experiences of "mind body brain", and can actually change how your body works. Affect your system from pain and other processes of the central nervous system. Research shows that back surgery is not very effective to reduce pain when excessive stress, depression or anxiety have led to changes in the central nervous system.
Pre-surgical psychological assessments can improve their chances of success with overcoming back pain. Surgery is not the only way to help you deal with back pain. If risk factors show that you won't receive better with surgery and, then, your doctor can help you to get another treatment that will give you good results you want.
Therefore - no worry! If you have been referred to a psychological evaluation pre-surgical, can be sure that your doctor wants you to have the best possible care for their pain problems.
