Spinal Decompression Surgery

Spinal Decompression Surgery is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Spinal decompression surgery is a medical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease. The surgery involves removing or adjusting structures that impinge on the spinal nerves, creating more space within the spinal canal. There are various techniques for spinal decompression surgery, including laminectomy, laminotomy, and microdiscectomy, each tailored to address specific spinal issues. The procedure may also involve the use of spinal instrumentation, such as screws or rods, to stabilize the spine. Spinal decompression aims to alleviate pain, numbness, and weakness associated with nerve compression, and it can be performed through minimally invasive or traditional open surgical approaches. Postoperative rehabilitation, including physical therapy, is often recommended to optimize recovery and improve overall spinal function.
