Topic: Recovery
Whether you are recovering from surgery or attempting to heal from a back injury in nonsurgical ways, there are a variety of ways you can help your body naturally heal. Many of these suggestions are general ways to stay healthy, but they become even more important when your body is in need of physical healing. Not surprisingly, different patients heal at different rates. Younger, healthier people might heal more quickly than older individuals, or those with medical problems. Activity, especially walking, seems to help the healing process more rapidly and with better strength. The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, and active area of resarch for the NSHF, is helping evolutionize spinal postoperative recovery, including better pain control, eliminating the need for IV pain medications, reducing opioids, and more.
