DecompressionThoracic decompression surgery is performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the upper back caused by conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role before and after surgery to restore spinal mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and help patients safely return to daily activities. At ACE Physio Sports, personalised rehabilitation programmes support faster recovery, improved function, and long-term spinal health.
→DiscectomyA thoracic discectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a damaged or herniated disc in the thoracic spine (upper back). When a disc presses on the spinal cord or nearby nerves, it can cause pain around the chest or back and sometimes weakness in the legs. Thoracic discectomy surgery relieves pressure on the nerves and helps restore normal function. Physiotherapy at ACE Physio Sports plays an essential role before and after surgery, helping patients regain mobility, strength, and independence.
→FusionThoracic fusion surgery is performed to stabilise the upper and mid-back by joining two or more vertebrae together. The procedure helps reduce spinal instability, relieve nerve pressure, and correct spinal deformities. Physiotherapy after thoracic fusion surgery is essential to restore mobility, rebuild strength, and help patients safely return to normal daily activities.
→InjectionA thoracic facet injection is a medical procedure used to reduce upper back or chest pain caused by irritated facet joints in the thoracic spine. The injection contains a local anaesthetic to relieve pain and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation. While the injection can provide temporary pain relief, physiotherapy is essential to improve upper back mobility, strengthen supporting muscles, and prevent recurring pain.
→LaminectomyA thoracic laminectomy is mid-back surgery performed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the thoracic spine. Many people search for this as thoracic laminectomy rehab, physiotherapy after thoracic laminectomy, or recovery after thoracic decompression surgery. It is usually done when narrowing in the thoracic spine causes ongoing pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty with daily activities. Physiotherapy before and after surgery helps improve mobility, strength, posture, and recovery.
→Thoracic Fracture Fixation Rehab SingaporeThoracic fracture fixation is spine surgery to stabilise broken vertebrae. Physiotherapy in Singapore is essential after surgery to restore movement, strength, and daily function.
