What You Need to Know to Prepare for Spine Surgery

Planning for and recovering from surgery is a collaborative journey between you and your healthcare team. Knowing what to expect before, during and after surgery will contribute to a quicker recovery.

If you are preparing for spine surgery, come to one of our FREE pre-operative spine classes. You are encouraged to bring a family member.

The Class will cover:

• Instructions for the day of your surgery
• Surgical Pre-Admission, Operating Room, & Recovery Room Procedures
• Nursing Care, including equipment and your post-operative routine
• Physical Therapy: daily activities & exercises
• Occupational Therapy: bathing, dressing & using adaptive devices
• Pain management
• Planning for continued care following surgery

Complete your lab work & X-ray the same day before or after class.

Classes are held every Thursday at St. Anthony North Hospital from 2-4 pm.
