Rehabilitation After Lumbar Disc Surgery: An Update Cochrane Review
Spine, 08/05/09

Ostelo RWJG et al. – Exercise programs starting 4 to 6 weeks postsurgery seem to lead to a faster decrease in pain and disability than no treatment. High intensity exercise programs seem to lead to a faster decrease in pain and disability than low intensity programs. There were no significant differences between supervised and home exercises for pain relief, disability, or global perceived effect. There is no evidence that active programs increase the reoperation rate after first–time lumbar surgery.
