My Spine - Lumbar
Follow-up
Routinely you will receive a date for your follow-up appointment with your
specialist. This may vary from anything between two and six weeks, but you
will be seen earlier if there are any complications. It is important to realise
that you will have to protect your back for the rest of your life and apply good
back habits (see the chapter Everyday Life). This procedure is part of conser-
vative management, bear in mind that it may fail and further treatment includ-
ing surgery may be required.
