How does rehabilitation after minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery work?

  1.How long after minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery can you get off the ground and resume daily activities If the patient has undergone decompression of herniated disc or simple disc removal, it is generally discouraged to get off the ground within 3 weeks after surgery, because the scar has not yet been fully formed and the surrounding soft tissues have not completely healed, and patients are often advised to resume daily activities and normal work only after 3 weeks to 1 month after surgery, but However, patients should avoid heavy physical work, lifting, carrying, or carrying heavy objects at work. If minimally invasive fusion of the spine is done, the patient can be on the ground about 3 days after surgery and can resume general and easy work in about 1 month, but if the patient wants to resume more intensive work, it will take 3 months after the bone graft is fused. Patients with lumbar disc herniation treated by percutaneous spinal endoscopy can go down to the ground on the same day and gradually resume daily activities according to clinical symptoms, usually with 4-6 weeks of rest.  2.How to wear a lumbar girth after minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery The lumbar girth has a very important role for patients with lumbar spine diseases, it is easy to use and has a good braking and protective effect on the lumbar spine. Generally speaking, in the acute phase of lumbar pain and lumbar spine disorders patients can wear lumbar circumference when working and going out. But the time to use the lumbar circumference should be noted, not all day and night with the lumbar circumference, if the lumbar muscles do not exercise for a long time, the muscles will atrophy, which will aggravate the lumbar spine disease. For the lumbar spine after minimally invasive surgery in general within 3 months when you go out and get up activities should wear lumbar circumference, in order to play a protective role, at the same time should be supplemented with lumbar back muscle exercise, so as not to cause lumbar muscle disuse atrophy.  3, which sports and functional exercises help the recovery of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery Selecting appropriate sports and functional exercises is very helpful for the recovery of minimally invasive spine surgery. For patients with neurological dysfunction of the upper and lower extremities caused by cervical and lumbar spondylosis, it is helpful to exercise the muscle strength and coordination of the upper and lower extremities, such as using two exercise balls to exercise the flexibility of the hands and straight leg raising exercises for the lower extremities to exercise the muscle strength of the lower extremities. For lumbar spine surgery, functional exercises for the lumbar back muscles can be started earlier, as well as walking and jogging on flat ground, and swimming exercises are also very helpful for recovery from spinal disease surgery. However, after minimally invasive spine surgery, patients should avoid some strenuous physical exercise, and should also try to avoid bending and carrying, lifting and carrying heavy objects, shouldering heavy objects and other work.
