Hi,
It could be due to muscle spasms that is quite common after spine surgery. You can take him to a physiotherapist and exercises might help to relieve spams. He might also require muscle relaxants like Baclofen for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
