The time is takes to recover from spinal surgery varies from person to person. It depends on how long one stays in the hospital as well as rehab. The average recovery time can be anywhere from 4-12 weeks.

It depends a huge amount on what the surgery was, and what resulted in the need for the surgery. (e.g a repair on a herniated disk will require far less recovery time than a repair of a fractured spine).

For comparatively minor spinal surgery, you should hope to be able to do the same things you were doing before surgery within ten-14 days post-op.

For major spinal surgery, the recovery time will be much longer (it's difficult to give an estimate).
