Post - Surgical Rehabilitation

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation

It is normal to feel a bit nervous if you have a surgical procedure coming up or planning to have surgery and wondering what timeframe you’ll be able to recover. Knowing that you have a post- surgical rehab therapy plan set beforehand can ease some of the stress.

While conservative treatment is options for an injury, some conditions depending on severity, may lead to surgery which may include but are not limited to:

Spinal Surgeries ( fusion, discectomies, laminectomies)
Joint replacement ( shoulder, hip, knee, ankle)
Rotator Cuff Tears
Ligament repairs (ACL, MCL, PCL)
Meniscus repair
Fracture repair

Your recovery following a surgical procedure may result in physical limitations. At Osteopractic Physical Therapy of Central Indiana, no matter what post-surgical rehab issues you’re experiencing, we can help advise you on ways to accommodate such limitations while regaining mobility and strength. Making these accommodations allows you to move around comfortably and slowly restore independence.

How Can Physical Therapy Help?

Both pre and post-surgical rehab are essential elements of successful outcomes. Any surgery, whether minor or uncomplicated, can affect the body differently. No surgery is the same. Because of this, physical therapy is essential to ensure everything goes smoothly after your surgical procedure. Individualized treatment and rehab help not only minimize pain but also accelerate your healing process, assess signs and symptoms of post-operative complication, including infection, blood clots, excessive drainage and other factors that can negatively affect long-term health.

Another critical reason for selecting post-surgical rehabilitation is to help you reduce if not altogether, avoid prescription medications. For this reason, the opioid epidemic is currently gripping the country. The CDC advises people to choose physical therapy over prescription painkillers whenever possible.

The impact of surgeries on your body should not be understated because of the degree of pain, limitation of motion, inflammation, and swelling. However, our physical therapist is dedicated to ensuring you are living a healthy lifestyle even after your post-surgical treatments. The treatment plan will also include education on lifestyle or nutritional changes you can make to optimize your long-term health.

When I last injured my hip and tried PT, I was treated for several months with none of the results you helped me achieve in a fraction of that amount of time. I really enjoyed your personal and customized approach and the fact that you treated other issues that were plaguing me to help me improve my movement and function. You are absolutely in the right profession by making my health your priority."
