Summary

This study looks at two ways to help people recover after surgery for a slipped disc in the lower back. One group will start moving early, and the other will do the same plus get mild electrical stimulation on their muscles. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and improves daily function better over 6 to 8 weeks. About 60 adults who just had surgery will take part.
