Postoperative Recovery Considerations for Cervical Spinal Stenosis

Precautions for recovery after cervical spinal stenosis include: 1. Cervical brace to fix the cervical spine: avoid excessive movement of cervical spine of forward flexion and backward extension or rotation within 1 month after surgery, avoid throwing the head to avoid falling and causing re-injury, pay attention to the fact that when getting up, the cervical brace must be worn, and also need to avoid excessive movement in the bed. 1 month later, the patient can return to the normal life without the need of cervical brace. 2. Pay attention to the daily maintenance of the cervical vertebrae: avoid prolonged head down or excessive head shaking action, pay attention to the adjustment of the pillow and the adjustment of the sleeping posture, slightly tilt the neck back when lying on the back, and ensure that the neck is not skewed from side to side when lying on the side.
