Spinal Decompression surgery is a surgical intervention in which an incision is placed in your neck or back region to remove foreign substances (bulging discs, bone spurs, thickened ligaments, disc herniations, or arthritic bones) that are causing your nerves to impinge. Removing the causative factors will allow your nerves to have more room and help decrease the pain and symptoms that you are experiencing. The posterior part of your vertebrae which helps encapsulate the spinal canal is known as the lamina. Sometimes due to arthritic changes or very traumatic events, this bony part of your vertebrae can cause increased pressure on your nerves and in turn can cause you pain, numbness, and even weakness in your hands/feet. If you have been diagnosed with a bulging or herniated disc and have not been able to find relief through conventional therapy, you may be referred for a discectomy. In this procedure, your surgeon will remove all, or part, of your disc to help decompress the area. The extent of the herniation and/or pinching on the nerves will determine whether the whole disc or part of it is removed during a discetomy. Speak with your doctor about this surgery and consider all options before proceeding.
