WHAT IS THE POST-PROCEDURE CARE?
Patients usually recover after a few hours and can go home the same day, provided they have adequate supervision. Hospitalization is generally not required, unless the patient requires additional monitoring after the procedure. All patients are given detailed discharge instructions and are seen in our office within 7-14 days following the procedure to answer questions and assess outcome. Referring or primary care physicians can provide routine follow-up care. To hasten recovery and regain levels of activity, patients may benefit from physical therapy or short-term back bracing.
