Spinal surgery is performed to address issues related to the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. The procedure may involve removing damaged discs, fusing vertebrae, or decompression of the spinal cord or nerves. The primary aim is to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.
Post-surgery physiotherapy is vital for a successful recovery after spinal surgery. It focuses on enhancing spinal stability, improving strength, and restoring flexibility. Treatment typically includes exercises to strengthen the back muscles, improve posture, and manage pain and swelling. Physiotherapists develop individualized rehabilitation plans to support a smooth recovery.
Physiotherapy is crucial after spinal surgery to ensure proper healing and optimal spinal function. It aids in reducing pain, preventing complications, and speeding up the recovery process. Personalized physiotherapy programs focus on strengthening the back, improving mobility, and supporting overall physical function, enabling patients to return to their daily activities safely and efficiently.
