Surgical spinal decompression may be performed using one of these common procedures:
Microdiscectomy (or microdecompression) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a portion of a herniated disc is removed by way of surgical instruments.
Laminotomy and laminectomy are surgical procedures in which a small portion of the arch of the vertebrae (bone) or all of the arch is removed from the spine to alleviate the pressure on the pinched spinal cord or nerve. This is an elective procedure for patients who have not had pain relief or functional improvement through more conservative treatment options.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is the relief of pressure on one or many pinched nerves (neural impingement) of the spinal column.
Spinal decompression can be achieved both surgically and non-surgically and is used to treat conditions that result in chronic back pain such as disc bulge, disc herniation, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and isthmic and degenerative spondylolisthesis.
