FAQs For Post-Operation Therapy
Several factors determine if you will have outpatient care (same-day surgery and then discharged) or if you will have inpatient care (admitted to staying overnight in the hospital). The main factors are:
- Type of surgery performed
- Duration of your operation
- How well your body recuperate after the fact
You will likely experience mild to moderate pain after your surgery. This is because, during surgery, three types of pain contribute to a patient's discomfort in the post-surgery phase: nociceptive pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain.
They all relate to the idea that every surgery requires the cutting of tissues, which results in triggering the nerve fibers and increasing the operated area's sensitivity.
If, and when, a postoperative care provider is needed in your home, they can help you to collect supplies at the store, feed you your medications and meals, get dressed, bathe, exercise, and more.
Let's be honest; how quick we can resume our regular routines, even sex, is on patients' minds after surgery. Sex should not occur until your surgical incisions are completely healed, and depending on your surgery, your surgeon may have additional recommendations for recovery.
Constipation is one of the most common problems after surgery, even when it was not an issue before you went under the knife. Constipation can significantly increase by using narcotic medications, which are normally prescribed to help alleviate your pain. You will want to reduce the risk of constipation as much as you can because it may prolong your recovery time.

Talented and knowledgeable. Great service, and they come to you! Working around my schedule while on a modified return to work schedule from a car accident was key! This allowed me to receive the treatment I needed with the recommended amount of weekly treatments not needed to be sacrificed due to busy work & life schedules. Thank you, I'm on the road to recovery!

Milan's professionalism, commitment to his patients and experience dealing with various sorts of injuries are unparalleled. I was referred to Milan to get treatment for a shoulder injury; I managed to recover to a great extent after just a few sessions thanks to his physio sessions as well as an adapted exercise routine that Milan designed for me.
