What do you recommend for someone who had C5, C6 & C7 Anterior Cervical Fusion?

Cervical spinal fusion is surgery that joins two or more of the vertebrae in your neck. It made your neck more stable.

After surgery, you can expect your neck to feel stiff and sore. This should improve in the weeks after surgery. You may have trouble sitting or standing in one position for very long.

You may need to wear a neck brace for a while. Most people can go back to work after 4 to 6 weeks. But it may take a few months to get back to your usual activities. How long it takes depends on what kind of surgery you had and the type of work and other activities you do.

Your doctor may advise you to work with a physiotherapist to strengthen the muscles around your neck and back.
