Once your Medtronic drug pump is implanted and the implant site is healed, you and your doctor will work together to develop a pain management program. That program may include other types of therapies in addition to your Medtronic device, like physical therapy and exercise, with the goal of helping you to restore function for daily living. Medtronic provides the resources below to help you succeed long-term with your therapy.
