Various forms of effective pain management are available in the aftermath of surgery. Pain and discomfort will typically arise in the subsequent days and weeks following the procedure, but various strategies can help alleviate these symptoms. In most cases, patients will be prescribed some form of pain medication to manage acute pain and reduce inflammation. In addition to medication, home remedies such as the application of ice packs to the affected surgical area can help to minimize the presence of swelling and numb pain. Another key aspect of pain management is physical therapy. Engaging in prescribed physical therapy exercises can improve mobility, strengthen muscles, and reduce stiffness, all of which contribute to pain relief. Some light introductory stretching as well as strengthening exercises tailored to your unique recovery will be introduced gradually by your therapist. InovoSpine offers a wide range of interventional pain management techniques designed not only to relieve symptoms but to help facilitate a patient’s full participation in their physical rehabilitation program.
