Abstract
DDDP is the most common cause of chronic back pain, leading to disability and often requiring surgical treatment. However, despite the flawless surgery, some patients still experience high levels of pain and limitations. The modern approach to treatment involves effective and safe rehabilitation measures to reduce the frequency of complications and improve the long-term outcomes. Early rehabilitation helps prevent complications and triggers adaptive processes. Late rehabilitation focuses on sustainable functional recovery, returning to professional and daily activities, and preventing surgical spine syndrome. In addition, in the last decade, the concept of pre-rehabilitation has been widely developed, allowing for improved functional outcomes and quality of life. Further research should focus on determining the optimal timing and intensity of pre-rehabilitation, as well as assessing its economic benefits..

Keywords: rehabilitation after surgery, pre-rehabilitation, multimodal programs, personalized rehabilitation technologies, quality of life
