Lumbar Fracture Fixation
A lumbar fracture fixation is a surgical procedure that stabilizes fractured vertebrae in the lower back using screws, rods, or plates. Lumbar fractures can result from high-impact trauma such as falls or car accidents, or from weakened bones due to conditions like osteoporosis. Surgery is typically recommended for unstable fractures or when the fracture threatens spinal cord or nerve function. Common types of lumbar fractures include compression, flexion, extension, rotational, and distraction fractures, with compression fractures being the most frequent, often caused by osteoporosis.
Lumbar fracture fixation realigns and secures the vertebrae, relieving pressure on the spinal cord and nerves to restore stability and function. Early physiotherapy, alongside surgery, can significantly improve recovery by strengthening muscles, restoring mobility, and supporting a safe return to daily activities. At Physio.co.uk, we provide specialized physiotherapy for patients recovering from lumbar fractures, including those with spinal cord injuries, to help regain independence, reduce pain, and optimize long-term spinal health.
Physiotherapy Following a Lumbar Fracture Fixation
Physiotherapy is an essential part of recovery after lumbar fracture fixation surgery. Starting physiotherapy soon after surgery can greatly enhance healing, restore function, and reduce complications. At Acephysiosports.com, our experienced physiotherapists provide individualized care to address the common post-surgical symptoms, which may include:
- Pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs
- Swelling or stiffness of soft tissues surrounding the lumbar spine
- Limited range of motion in the lower back
- Weakness in the paraspinal and abdominal muscles
- Difficulty performing everyday tasks or engaging in recreational activities
Our goal is to help you regain strength, mobility, and confidence while supporting a safe return to your normal routines.
At acephysiosports.com,our physiotherapy program is designed to help you regain independence and maximise your recovery after lumbar fracture fixation. Treatment focuses on improving range of motion, muscle strength, overall fitness, and functional ability—allowing you to return safely to the activities that matter most.
Physiotherapy may include:
- Ice and ultrasound therapy in the early stages to reduce pain and inflammation
- Guidance on posture and positioning during sitting, lying, and daily activities to relieve pressure on the spine
- Soft tissue massage to promote healing and decrease muscle tension
- Stretching exercises to lengthen tight muscles and enhance flexibility
- Mobilization exercises to restore movement in the lumbar spine
- Strengthening exercises targeting the paraspinal and abdominal muscles to improve core stability
- Ergonomic assessments to ensure safe movement at home or work, including bending, lifting, and rotating the lower back
- Advice on low-impact aerobic activity, such as walking or stationary cycling, to improve overall fitness and support recovery
Your physiotherapist at Ace Physio Sports will support you through a progressive exercise programme tailored to your needs, enabling you to return to a normal lifestyle with confidence as soon as possible.
