Reasons For Rehab Following Lumbar Fusion

By Neil P. Hines


There are various surgeries that can be applied to facilitate the support of the spinal column and to ensure that the best possible healing processes take place. The rehab following lumbar fusion includes processes to address the damages and to ensure that greater levels of flexibility can be achieved. One should rest the tissues, but routine exercises need to be engaged for the process of a recovered state.

There are many patients who have had surgery performed and are hesitant to engage in activities that could cause additional complications. With poor exercise regimes and an impediment in regular healing processes, the fusion can cause additional complications including restricted mobility. While intense and rigorous actions are not permitted, it should involve custom solutions for recovery.

The exercise program will be developed by your surgeon. This will ensure that it meets with lifestyle requirements and does not cause additional damage to the fusing of the vertebrae. Suitable healing processes will have to take place while incorporating activity for the best possible results.

All patients are provided a custom exercise regime involving light stretches on a routine basis for flexibility. While it is important to engage in rest, it can also contribute to increased stiffness and swelling of the joints. To provide the spine with optimum levels of support, it requires improved strength and heightened support for improved flexibility.

One should focus on gentle methods to develop and strengthen the spinal muscles and tissues. The spine is linked to muscles, nerves, and joints that will require intervention to facilitate routine movement. A lack of strength can result in less spinal support and will make it incredibly difficult to achieve maximum function.

Improving overall circulation can assist in facilitating optimum healing processes. Greater amounts of nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the sources of damage for the healing of tissues and stronger bones. Recovery can be maximized with access to healthy sources and to ensure that balance is achieved.

A surgeon will advise on methods of healing and balance to ensure that engagement in regular exercises are implemented in a safe and supported manner. The suitable methods for rehabilitation can be advised and determined to prevent against complications during the recovery process. All exercise plans should be customized to adhere to the most suitable outcomes for health and balance.
