Neck fusion surgery is a procedure that involves joining two or more vertebrae in the neck to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. It is a common procedure among athletes, especially those involved in contact sports like professional wrestling.
The recovery process after neck fusion surgery can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. It typically involves a period of rest and limited movement to allow the bones to fuse together properly. Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises may also be prescribed to regain strength and mobility in the neck and surrounding muscles.
