Post-Surgical Rehabilitation in Merrillville, Indiana
Post-surgical rehabilitation is essential for achieving the best possible outcome after orthopedic or spine surgery. At Merrillville Injury Care, post-surgical rehab is coordinated on-site with the same physical therapy team that works alongside our surgeons — ensuring a seamless transition from surgery to recovery.
Rehabilitation After Spine Surgery
Post-operative spine rehabilitation follows a structured protocol that progresses through phases of wound healing and protection, gentle range of motion, core stabilization, strength building, and graduated return to activity. Protocols are customized based on the specific procedure (discectomy, fusion, disc replacement, decompression) and the patient’s individual recovery trajectory.
Rehabilitation After Joint Surgery
Following arthroscopic knee surgery, shoulder surgery, or hip arthroscopy, our rehabilitation program focuses on reducing post-operative swelling, restoring joint range of motion, rebuilding strength, and returning the patient to functional activity. Our therapists follow surgeon-specific protocols and communicate directly with Dr. Rerri to adjust rehabilitation as needed based on clinical progress.
