The purpose of this study is to determine if postoperative cryotherapy with a cold‐therapy system reduces postoperative pain and narcotic consumption following single and multi‐level spinal fusion. The investigators hypothesize that patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion who receive postoperative cryotherapy treatment with a cold‐therapy system will have reduced inpatient pain scores and require less narcotics as compared to patients that receive standard care (ice pack).
