Recovery time from spine surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and individual factors. Minimally invasive procedures like microdiscectomy typically require 4-6 weeks for recovery, while more complex surgeries such as spinal fusion may take 3-6 months. Early recovery involves rest, pain management, and light activities. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength and mobility. Factors such as age, overall health, adherence to post-surgery care, and lifestyle choices significantly influence recovery time. While patients can resume normal activities gradually, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous tasks is essential during the healing process to ensure long-term spinal health.
