Ventral Discectomy - dynamic Prestige system in Singapore

Depending on the extent of the surgery, one may have to stay in the hospital for up to three days under observation. Soon afterwards, one is discharged with a special neck brace. This brace should never be taken off for any reason. The brace will remain in place for about eight weeks or as recommended by the physician.

Physical therapy is highly recommended during this period. It helps to quicken the healing process. Other therapies such as acupuncture have proven useful after a ventral discectomy. The patient needs to take lots of rest and eat foods that promote body healing. It would also be a good idea to avoid engaging in intensive activities. Most people are usually able to return to their normal lives. However, people who play intensive contact sport are advised against reporting for work ever again. The risk of dislocating the disc is too high. In most cases, if a relapse occurs, it can be life threatening.
