You'll need to do some research on physicians associated with the hospital you generally attend, or contact the surgeon who performed the surgery. He/she could recommend a specialist to see. You might also search for a spinal surgeon in particular; that person would generally provide post-surgical support.

I'm wondering if you've contacted the surgeon who performed the surgery and if that person is or isn't suitable to address the post surgical problems. Did your wife have any physical therapy after the surgery? Did she have or is she getting home care?
