Surgery vs. Rehabilitation for Chronic Lower Back Pain

This case focuses on whether surgery or physical rehabilitation is the better choice for chronic lower back pain by asking the question: Is spinal fusion surgery beneficial in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain? The benefit of surgery compared with nonsurgical therapy in patients with chronic low back pain remains uncertain. Most patients improve both with and without surgery. Although pain control may be slightly better with surgery, surgical treatment carries risks. Further research on this topic is greatly needed.
