Post-Op Recovery Guide After ACDF
Every patient’s recovery journey is unique but you also have to be proactive with your post-op activities in order to facilitate a swift recovery after your Cervical ACDF surgery.
Use Neck Brace or Collar

Your surgeon may recommend wearing a neck brace or collar to provide support and stability to your neck during the initial recovery period. Follow their instructions regarding when and how to wear the brace.
Rest and Limit Heavy Movement

Rest is crucial for proper healing. Avoid strenuous activities, lifting heavy objects, and bending or twisting your neck for the first few weeks following surgery.
Gradual Return to Activities

As you progress in your recovery, gradually reintroduce light activities and exercises as tolerated. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard too soon.
Follow-up Appointments

Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns or complications that may arise.
