What are my limitations after laser spine surgery and how long will I be out of work?
Physical therapy begins the very first day after your procedure. We want you to limit lifting over 10-15 pounds for about six weeks. We recommend that patients return to normal activities gradually to allow for maximum healing. Patients that have desk jobs can normally return to work within a few days and patients with physically strenuous jobs should wait six weeks, depending on the job. You may return to work with restrictions for those first six weeks and then return to normal activity there after.
