In Tennessee, back surgery is common among people who have had some traumatic injury due to an auto accident or on the job injury in Tennessee, and they often need Tennessee personal injury attorneys to help them get what they are entitled to receive. In our practice we have represented hundreds of people who sustained Tennessee workers compensation back injuries or in Tennessee car accidents.

While many times people recover over time without surgery, many others have symptoms that can only be resolved with surgery. Usually a few weeks after surgery physical therapy is ordered to help people get their strength and flexibility back.

Now there is some research that indicates that rehabilitation after surgery really doesn’t make any difference.  A Finnish study published in Orthopedics Today Europe reports that in a recent study of 102 back surgery patients, there was no difference between patients who did or did not have rehab after surgery. My guess? Doctors will continue to order physical therapy and rehab after back surgery, and most people will want it. Even if it doesn’t make any real difference 2 years down the road, it’s helpful for people to get their confidence back, and that’s something rehab can do for anyone.
