Hi doctors, can you tell me what are good lumbar laminectomy aftercare exercises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Number of them: Once you have recovered and cleared for exercise, make sure you do core strengthening and exercises like leg lifts and knee tucks (witch hazel) which will help mobilize the nerve roots and avoid adhesions/scarring around the dura.
