A new study has shown that people who have had spine-bruising careers can
still resume active lives after back surgery.
A Northwestern Medicine study found that 80 percent of NFL linemen - whose
spines are especially vulnerable to degeneration - were able to return to
play many more games after the surgery.
"Many times after the surgery, people are afraid to go back and live their
lives. They don't want to hurt themselves and have another herniation. If
a football player can get back to playing football again, you, too, can
resume normal life. Just because you had disc surgery doesn't mean you are
going to be broken for life," said Joseph Weistroffer.

The study will be published in the March issue of the Journal of American
Sports Medicine. (ANI)

Post-surgery, patients need to take it easy for up to three months and not
lift more than 10 pounds to enable the body to heal. It is also usually
beneficial to develop good muscle tone in the back and abdomen to help
support the spine.
