Rehab VS Lumbar Spine Fusion | Episode 47

Dr. Grant Elliott with RehabFix Online Low Back Program: Thousands of people are told they need surgery every year in order to resolve low back pain and disc herniation, but is this true? The most common surgeries to resolve most disc related issues are microdiscectomy and lumbar fusion. What happens when we compare the outcomes of rehab to lumbar fusion for these disc issues though? In this episode I discuss a paper from 2014 that compares this very thing! Lumbar spine fusion is a procedure you cannot take back, and you should make sure you are doing everything possible before going into surgery!
