Spinal Decompression

A procedure to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by compression

What is a Spinal Decompression?

Spinal decompression is a surgical technique to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots by removing bone, disc material, or ligaments. It treats conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs. The procedure can be performed minimally invasively to reduce recovery time

Signs You May Benefit from Spinal Decompression

Pain or numbness in the legs or arms

Difficulty walking or balancing

Bladder or bowel dysfunction

Chronic neck or back pain

What Causes It?

Common Causes

  • Spinal stenosis
  • Herniated discs

Contributing Factors

  • Aging
  • Arthritis
  • Tumors or infections

Should You See a Spine Surgeon?

If you experience ongoing pain, numbness, or mobility issues despite conservative treatments, consult a specialist. Immediate evaluation is recommended if symptoms worsen or new neurological problems arise, such as weakness or loss of function, indicating potential compression requiring prompt attention.

  • Pain persisting despite therapy
  • Worsening numbness or weakness
  • New neurological symptoms
