In part 2 of this series, we continue chatting about designing and implementing a rehabilitation program after cervical discectomy with Drs Justin Lantz, Jessica Evaristo and Joseph Derian.
Today we work through phases 3 and 4 in the rehabilitation program: re-modeling and maturation occurring around 12-weeks after surgery.
We cover nerve glides and how to dose them, the goals and areas of focus for manual therapy and therapeutic exercise, incorporating proprioception training, and important clinical milestones to consider along the way.
The patient’s goal was to return to manual labor, and we talk about how healing timelines impact on clinical decisions in the later stages of rehabilitation.
