SCOLIOSIS SURGERY RECOVERY GUIDE

WHAT TO AVOID AFTER SURGERY

Avoid bending twisting and lifting during early recovery as these movements stress the healing spine.

HIGH IMPACT SPORTS RISK

Running jumping and contact sports can strain the fused spine. Choose gentle movements until cleared by your doctor.

HEAVY LIFTING LIMITS

Lifting heavy items can disrupt healing. Stick to light daily tasks and ask for help when needed.

POSTURE CARE MATTERS

Slouching and uneven sitting add pressure to the spine. Keep your back straight and supported.

SLEEPING POSITION TIPS

Avoid stomach sleeping. Use a medium firm mattress and support your knees for better alignment.

LIFESTYLE HABITS TO FIX

Smoking poor diet and weight issues slow recovery. Focus on nutrition hydration and gentle movement.

AVOID SELF TREATMENT

Do not try intense stretches or online fixes. Follow your doctor’s plan for safe progress.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL CARE

Recovery affects your mind too. Stay connected with family support groups and your healthcare team.
