Some people admire Canada for its publicly funded approach to healthcare; however, when it comes to elective surgeries, such as hip and knee surgery, patients often encounter frustrating delays that jeopardize their well-being.
Post-surgery recovery requires considerable care and caution, but it doesn’t mean having to sit still. In fact, staying active can significantly support the healing process and help you recover faster as long as you take the right precautions.
Joint replacement surgery can sound intimidating at first, but with an experienced medical provider and the proper level of care and support, it can bring multiple benefits and long-term relief.
Although joint replacement surgery offers long-term relief, patients still experience a considerable period of expected pain after the surgery is complete and the body heals.
Joint replacement surgery provides a sense of relief by restoring function to your joints and reducing pain, but your provider must have a holistic approach to ensure the best outcome and minimize any risk for complications during the process.
When you think of surgery, you often think of a long hospital stay and being stuck in a facility, but this isn’t always the case. Thanks to advanced methods of joint replacement surgery, you can recover from your procedure without a hospital stay.
Sleep is an important part of your body’s recovery process, making it a valuable tool post-surgery. During your sleep, your body works to build new tissue and repair the operating area.
