Surgeries can seem scary, especially when they involve your lower back. If the pain caused by your lower back pain has brought you to the point of needing surgery, this article might be helpful to shed some light on the topic and give you a bit of encouragement before you get into the operation room. Watch here for more details about walking after surgery.
It’s a common fear for most people planning to undergo back surgery that they might not walk again. Some people who have gone through surgery have found that even after surgery they had a hard time doing the basic things that they were once able to do before, but with the right help were able to recover and get back on their feet.
Here are some tips for recovering from back surgery:
Take it day-by-day and give it time. During surgery your body is introduced to something that it is not used to so it will take time to recover from this and for your body to get used to the change. Rehab specialists offer helpful advice and give people the opportunity to understand what just happened to their bodies and how the healing process works for each person.
Stay active with strength engagement training. In order for your body to heal and adjust, it is important to do the right amount of strength engagement training for your legs. This level of activity shouldn’t exceed what your body can handle at the time. The reason behind this training is to maintain the strength that you already have so that when it’s time to start practicing walking again, your body will be ready.
Connect with a rehab specialist. Rehab specialists are professionally trained and are able to help you by giving you hope for recovery and helpful exercises. They are also able to help guide you through every phase of recovery using their knowledge and experience. These specialists will be able to help you move forward mentally and physically over time.
There’s hope for you! Get the right help, give it time, and stay active. To start working with a rehab specialist, call or text “BACK PAIN” to 301-900-3226.
