What are spinal procedures?

Generally speaking, there are two types of spine surgery: traditional and minimally invasive. A surgeon will not recommend either type unless pain in the lower back, neck, or limbs is persistent and has not resolved with traditional pain management techniques. At this point, it may be safe to assume that the spine is the source of the problem.

Once it has been determined that spine surgery is necessary, the patient and surgeon must choose between traditional spine surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery. Traditional spine surgery requires complete exposure of the spine, which creates longer recovery times for the patient. Minimally invasive spine surgery, while not possible for every condition, calls only for selective incisions and allows for a shorter recovery time.

Why do patients need spinal procedures?

Usually, a spinal surgery will only be recommended after less invasive methods have failed to resolve the patient’s condition. Spinal procedures can help address low back pain, neck pain, or pain in the limbs and extremities, and these are often the symptoms patients have been experiencing when their doctor recommends spinal surgery.

Most commonly, patients will have some type of disease or disorder in the spine, such as spine cancer, brain cancer, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or a spine deformity, disorder, or infection.

The most common reasons for spinal procedures include:

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Scoliosis
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Spine cancer
  • Spine deformity

Physical therapy for spinal procedures in Sandy, Utah

Physical therapy is vital to restoring function and reducing pain after spine surgery. A physical therapist can help to ensure that the spine surgery is successful and long-lasting, training the patient’s body to work and move with the new spine and keep it safe from new injuries.

A physical therapy regimen after your spine procedure will incorporate pain control techniques, muscle retraining, and strength training. A physical therapist can create a routine that’s tailored to the patient’s needs and condition, carefully modifying the routine as the patient gains more strength and mobility over the weeks and months following the surgery.
