Although we have limited controlled data on surgical interventions like spinal fusion, discectomy, laminectomy, or vertebroplasty, studies often show some immediate benefit for pain, but this typically fades over time when compared to nonsurgical intervention.In other words, by a few months to a few years post-operatively, there’s no difference in pain outcomes for most common spinal conditions.
Does it mean from a few months to a few years?
