Is Spine Surgery the Right Choice for You?

If you have tried non-surgical options like physical therapy, steroid shots, nerve blocks, NSAIDs, or changes to your lifestyle for several months and haven’t felt much better, it may be time to think about spine surgery. Spine surgery is a big choice, and we know that at Precision Pain and Spine Institute. But it may be the best choice for you if other options don’t help your pain. Spine surgery may be necessary after traumatic injuries like car accidents or when a spinal condition worsens over time. Warning signs can include severe pain, lower limb stiffness, loss of bladder or bowel control, unexplained weight loss, or night sweats. By targeting the root cause of discomfort, spine surgery helps eliminate the need for repeated, ineffective treatments and provides a reliable path to lasting relief and improved quality of life.

What is the typical recovery timeframe following spine surgery?

It depends on the treatment and how long it takes to heal. After six weeks, you should be able to go back to your routine. This number can change based on your age, the complexity of your condition, and how active you were before surgery. A longer rehab time may be needed after spine treatments like a laminectomy or spinal fusion that need the spine to heal more. Because minimally invasive surgery is less invasive, they have faster healing times. Using these methods can change how long it takes to heal. Pain relief will happen right away for most people after surgery, but it’s normal to feel some pain again as your spine heals. At Precision Pain and Spine Institute, a pain management expert will help you make a plan for how to deal with your pain while you heal. This plan may include physical therapy, which may also be a part of your plan to help you get your strength and range of motion back. As an orthopedic practice that offers physical therapy, chiropractic care, and pain management, We are happy to be a part of your post-surgery healing, no matter what your plan is.
