Neck Surgery: What You Need To Know (Part 1)

LinkedInFacebookInstagramXPinterestYoutube

After a key procedure like a neck operation, you’re going to need time to recuperate. During that stage, you should have plenty of rest and relaxation. When you can do a bit extra, and after your physician gives their ok, there are some workouts you can do to keep your neck resilient and stay on that path to recovery.

A Serious Procedure

While neck surgery has abundant benefits and in the long run will make your life simpler, it’s still an intense procedure. Whether you need this operation due to pain triggered by a disc or vertebra, the process necessitates sedation and an incision on the rear of your neck. Once you’ve been cleared to go home, it’s time to begin your recuperation process. It’s more than dodging vigorous tasks and taking a break from work. You also must be cautious about how you sleep, how you move, and even how you lift objects that you may not have thought twice about after your operation.

AICA Orthopedics delivers knowledge about how to regain your health carefully and efficiently. We know you’re more than just a number. Here, our Atlanta Orthopedic Doctors treat people, not patients. We aim to advise and support anyone with questions or if they are speculating if they need neck surgery.

When It’s Time for A Neck Operation

Unless you’re a physician, it’s hard to know when you must have neck surgery. When nerves are strained, or disks are breaking down and crushing together, you’ll need neck surgery to remedy the problem.

  • Cervical Radiculopathy: When a herniated disc squeezes a nerve root, it results in pain from the disc’s bone spurs irritating the nerve.
  • Spinal Stenosis: This is when your spine has blank spaces that are slender in size. Your spine begins to put heaviness on nerves or your spinal cord. This ends in pain or feeling numbness.
  • Degenerative Disc Illness: Nerves pinch due to compression from discs that become stiffer. Their commitment is to keep your vertebrae from crunching against each other, and this turns out to be more difficult if they deteriorate.
    Neck surgery will resolve your problems with pain and will enable you to get back and enjoy your everyday life.

Yesterday was my last day at AICA College Park since my accident in December, there is so much to say about the people who work here and the level of customer service, care, attention, friendliness, and overall amazing atmosphere that they provide. Location is perfect in College Park, right off the highway and in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The entire staff, from the front desk girls, to the physical therapy girls, to the chiros, and the medical team are AMAZING! I feel like I just lost my friends not being able to visit them twice a week every week. I will definitely miss coming here. All the smiles and warm welcomes received. The physical therapy - asking about my day, if everything is okay and helping my back and neck get better. I had the pleasure of having Dr. Hector as my chiropractor, he is awesome, was very helpful in the healing process and also a native Spanish speaker which is a plus for those of us who do speak Spanish. Before coming to AICA, I tried another injury clinic in ATL and walked out after 5 mins - so impersonal and cold. I am so glad that I found AICA in College Park. Trust me, if you are injured and need some healing and TLC you NEED to come to this clinic! Highly recommend to everyone. Thank you again to the guys and girls at AICA - xo Ms. Colon
