Patient Reviews
Aug 21, 2021
It's been two years since Dr. Palmer did my surgery, which was for L3-4 and L4-5 micro laminotomy and diskectomy, and L4-5 fusion using the Aspen device. I have maintained a daily morning regime of 45 minutes stretching and 30 minutes walking, since the operation. I've started lifting weights again. I'm 67 now and really started getting my back loosened up about 18 months after the surgery. But now my back feels better than it did 25 years ago. Core muscles have substantially improved to allow me to play golf as much as I want. I've never taken any pain medication for my back since the operation. I suggest to anyone to follow Dr. P's simple advice to "listen to your body." Give your body time to build up back and core muscles, some of which may be being used for the very first time. DO PHYSICAL THERAPY BEFORE AND AFTER THE OPERATION. Two thumbs up on the Aspen device.
