Background- Infectious spondylitis is an unusual but serious cause of low back pain. Epidural and paraspinal abscesses are atypical diseases with a high risk of morbidity and mortality that are frequently discovered later in the course of the disease. . Method – A 52 year male had complaint of fever, pain in back and was unable to move his bilateral lower limb has given early rehabilitation six days a week for eight weeks. PRT and MWM was given for 3 times per week for 2 weeks Result – showed significant improvement in ROM, strength, ASIA and FIM score. Conclusion - Early diagnosis and physiotherapy intervention is the key to an optimal outcome in case of infective spondylitis with epidural and paraspinal abscess.
