Back surgery is something that you need to think long and hard about. It is also something that you should speak to several doctors about, not all of them being surgeons.
Back surgery is a big step. It has all of the risks of any surgery, including death. In the end, only you can decide what is right for you, but it is a decision where you need to have a lot of facts from a lot of different sources.

For some people, back surgery can be avoided. Your doctor will tell you the statistics. In order to avoid it, you will need to put in some work.

A study done by the Physicians Neck and Back Clinic in Minneapolis that was published in Spine Magazine found that restorative exercise helped patients avoid back surgery. Patients in the study received a one-year follow-up physical and 70% were still found to not need surgery.
Another study done by Arch Physical Rehab in Minneapolis found similar results. This study lasted for two years. This study focused on cervical and lumbar pain and more than 80% of the patients in the study did not need surgery after following an aggressive strengthening plan.
It is important to get your doctor’s approval before starting a strengthening program. Once you have that, it is important to choose a plan that focuses on progressively strengthening your back without risking injury.
