Implication

Randomized trial reveals that early physical therapy significantly reduces surgery rates in patients with lumbar issues, indicating a transformative approach to treatment.

Key Points

  • The central aim is to propose a roadmap for advanced spine rehabilitation to reduce unnecessary surgeries and enhance functional outcomes.
  • Structured evidence synthesis to develop a replicable care pathway,
  • Triage system incorporating red flags and referral criteria,
  • Monitoring of pain and healthcare utilization with key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Physical therapy referral reduced lumbar surgery odds (AOR = 0.59),
  • Mean 2-year low back pain costs were significantly lower with early physical therapy (US$ 1,828.24 vs US$ 3,030.53),
  • In a trial, 43% of lumbar stenosis patients avoided surgery with early physical therapy.
