What is a Foraminotomy?
For many, the persistent pain and numbness caused by spinal nerve compression have been a daily struggle. Activities like walking, standing, or even sitting for extended periods became sources of discomfort and frustration. Traditional treatments often provided limited relief, leaving many to endure ongoing pain and restricted mobility. Thankfully, a forminotomy can treat spinal nerve compression.
Procedure Details
A foraminotomy procedure specifically targets and decompresses the nerve root at the opening (foramen) through which a spinal nerve root exits the spinal canal. It is performed to relieve compression on the nerve root caused by conditions like spinal stenosis, herniated discs, bone spurs, or excessive ligament growth.
Performed by a skilled surgeon, an endoscopic or minimally invasive surgical approach will involve a small incision to remove the cause of the nerve compression. Using advanced surgical instruments and guided by precise imaging techniques, the goal is to create more space for the nerve root to pass through the foramen without being pinched or compressed.
Reclaim Your Active Life
Imagine a future where spinal nerve pain is a distant memory. With foraminotomy, patients can look forward to a life with less pain, improved mobility, and the ability to engage in everyday activities without discomfort.
