My Spine - Lumbar
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation consists of a strict back routine. You are not allowed to bend
or twist your back during your rehabilitation period. Use the log-rolling tech-
nique when turning over in bed. You are allowed to sit, stand, kneel, walk and
drive a vehicle. If you experience acute pain, contact your specialist immedi-
ately.
Follow-up
During the follow-up appointment your specialist will discuss ongoing osteo-
porotic treatment, investigate the cause of any persisting pain or new symp-
toms and discuss the treatment of co-morbidities.
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).
