There are many considerations you must discuss with your doctor before opting for surgery.

Some of which include:

• Have you done proper exercises and Physical Therapy to strengthen your problem areas as much as possible?
• Have you re-gained as much motion as possible within reason?
• Do you have experience undergoing anesthesia?
• Are you educated about what your surgery will entail as well as the prescribed recommendations afterwards?
• Who will transport you to and from your surgery and care for you in the weeks thereafter?

These are just some of the important things you should discuss with a Medical Doctor at Alpha Therapy before booking a definitive surgery date.

Post-Surgery. Smart Steps to Return to Your Active Lifestyle ASAP

Whoever said surgery would be a walk in the park didn’t know what they were talking about! Surgeries big and small are invasive and are generally only done as a last resort when other medical avenues and extensive Physical Therapy are unable to heal you.

Structuring a customized post-surgery rehab program is VITAL. The absence of one could see you back on the operating table, and if this happens it’s likely because you exasperated the original issue which will be more expensive and painful the second time around.

At Alpha Therapy we work with you to do everything in our power to keep you getting stronger every day.
