@kathleenpk Laminectomy carries a little bit of risk for destabilizing the spine because of bone having been removed during the procedure. A better suggestion would be to look to look at Myofascial Release for treating neuropathy.

Some patients benefit from this, and Mentor @johnbishop , John, often recommends this as something to try for neuropathy. It is a form of physical therapy, and one of the issues with surgery is that is creates scar tissue which can create a tightness in the body that may exacerbate neuropathy. This sometimes can compress nerves, etc.

One of our Mentors, @artscaping , Chris, has done myofascial release for her neuropathy and has been able to regain enough feeling to be able to drive. I'm sure she can tell you more than I can.

Here is our discussion about Myofacsial Release where you can learn more.

I have done a lot of MFR work myself and it has helped a lot. I was treating thoracic outlet syndrome as well as rehabbing from spine surgery.
