Common Challenges After Spinal Surgery

Limited Bending, Lifting, or Twisting
Spinal movements are usually restricted in the beginning, and require assistance to avoid injury or strain.
Weakness in Core and Limb Muscles
Injuries to nerves or muscle weakness can weaken abdominal, back, and leg muscles causing slow the recovery process.
Fatigue and Reduced Endurance
A lot of people experience fatigue, especially during the beginning of the week, which affects the daily activities and self-confidence.

Be concerned that you’re doing it all or doing it too fast could delay recovery and movement even after a successful surgery.
