HEALTHY TRAVEL AND REMEDIES FOR EVERYDAY AILMENTS – THE STUDY…

The study included 349 people who experienced chronic low back pain, defined as pain lasting more than a year.

patients were divided into two croups: 176 underwent spinal fusion surgery and 173 were enrolled in an intensive rehabilitation program that included daily exercises and cognitive (mental) behavior therapy.

During the two years of the study, 38 of the patients assigned to the rehabilitation group had received surgery as well, compared with seven surgery patients who had received both treatments.

This finding seems to indicate that surgery has a slight advantage over rehabilitation. However, the study authors believe the benefit is still too small, considering the potential risk and financial expense of surgery.
