Spinal Surgery Rehabilitation
Dr John Booth’s interest in spinal pain and injury includes the development of pre and post operative rehabilitation protocols for spinal surgery patients. This includes exercise rehabilitation protocols specific to different surgical interventions such as spinal fusion, discectomy, disc replacement and laminectomy. John has worked closely with neurosurgeons over the previous years to develop these protocols and undertake collaborative research. The findings from a study investigating rehabilitation following disc replacement surgery were presented to the North American Spine Society.
