Recovering from Back Surgery

Deciding to undergo back surgery can be a daunting task, but sometimes it is the only way to provide relief. For patients who have decided to have back surgery, it is essential to prepare for the postoperative recovery period. At Home Advantage Rehabilitation Solutions, we want our patients to be well-prepared for their recovery. Our team would like to provide some information about the recovery process following back surgery and how they may improve their experience. 

Different Back Procedures

Back surgery is often the last resort for treating back issues. Those that have experienced herniated or ruptured disks, vertebral fractures, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disk disease may be candidates for surgical treatment. Here are some examples of different back procedures:

  • Spinal Decompression. 
  • Discectomy.
  • Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty.
  • Foraminotomy.
  • Spinal Fusion.
  • Artificial Disk Replacement.

Back Surgery Recovery

After back surgery, the length of your recovery time will depend on several factors, including age and physical condition before the procedure. Your specific experience will also depend on the type of back surgery you had, and the recovery period can range anywhere from a few months to a year. Whichever procedure you had, it’s essential to care for your back after surgery. Here are some tips to help you towards a successful recovery:

  • Optimize your fitness before surgery – If your body is properly conditioned before your procedure, you have a higher chance of a quicker and easier recovery. Consult with one of our physical therapists before your surgery. We can help you strengthen your back and help keep your joints strong. 
  • Keep moving – Rest is essential to your recovery, but many doctors want you to start moving again as soon as possible. Your strength and stamina can decline rapidly with just a few days of inactivity. Keep your joints moving after your surgery to avoid stiffness and weakness. Always consult with your doctor to make sure you do not further injure yourself. 
  • Prioritize your rehabilitation – Rehab is arguably the most critical part of your recovery, and you should start thinking about it well before the surgery. Delaying your rehab can be detrimental to your progress after surgery. Our team offers in-home physical therapy to help our patients achieve maximum wellness.
