A highly specialized physician with an advanced educational background and years of training in surgical procedures focusing on the brain and spine is a neurosurgeon. A neurosurgeon’s scope of practice can range from a wide array of minimally invasive procedures to complex brain and spinal surgeries. In order to produce optimal outcomes and shorter recovery times for you as a patient, neurosurgeons are trained to use state-of-the-art surgical and diagnostic equipment.
Physical therapy can be a vital aspect to your rehabilitation and recovery. Depending on the individual circumstances surrounding your procedure, your doctor may recommend physical therapy. Most cases typically call for the introduction of a physical therapy program anywhere between two to six weeks following your procedure. This is case-specific and relies on your overall condition as well as the type of surgery you undergo. Your road to recovery will most likely entail stretching, core strengthening exercises, as well as holding, standing, and sitting positions that correlate to your lifestyle and work requirements.
