Lumbar radiculopathy due to disc herniation is one of the most common conditions seen in orthopedic practices worldwide. Surgical intervention is often necessary, and most patients improve without reoccurrences. The purpose of this case is to describe the successful outcome of post-surgical resurgent lumbar radiculopathy treated with spinal manipulation and therapeutic exercises. Here, we discuss the case of a 42-year-old male who received twelve treatments of spinal manipulation, in addition to therapeutic McKenzie methods exercises. By the end of the treatment plan, the patient was asymptomatic and his outcome assessment score (Oswestry questionnaire) showed an 89% improvement. In a three-month follow-up, he remained stable, and therefore, this case reports a successful outcome and the worthiness of considering spinal manipulation and therapeutic exercises in patients suffering from resurgent lumbar radiculopathy, even when post-surgical changes are present, if there are no absolute contraindications.
