How soon after laminectomy can you exercise your back?

Normal exercises for the back can be performed 8 to 10 weeks after laminectomy. Foraminoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat herniated discs, and this procedure is usually less invasive. If the patient is in good physical condition, he or she can usually perform simple daily activities about 1 month after the surgery, and can usually perform back exercises such as arching and swallowing at about 8 weeks; if the patient is in poorer physical condition, it usually takes about 10 weeks before he or she can perform the exercises. After laminectomy, patients need to take strict bed rest, ensure lumbar braking, and should wear a waist cuff if they need daily activities. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to a light diet to avoid constipation and other conditions, which is conducive to postoperative recovery. After the intervertebral foramenoscopy surgery, we should take good care of the wound to avoid infection, and should consult a doctor in time if there is any discomfort.
