Abstract

The results of surgical treatment of 222 patients with lumbar osteochondrosis complicated by nerve root syndrome with proved nerve compression show that prolonged conservative treatment including physiotherapy, distraction, manual therapy aggravates the patient’s condition due to stimulation of the proliferative processes in spinal canal. Timely surgical treatment allows to prevent the complications, decrease the disability duration and to return the patient to everyday life and work with minimum economic and time costs.
