Lumbar Decompression

Lumbar Decompression Surgery

Relieve Pressure, Regain Comfort

Lumbar decompression is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the lower back. This pressure is often caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes. At [Clinic Name], we specialize in providing effective lumbar decompression treatments to restore mobility and alleviate chronic pain.

What is Lumbar Decompression?

The lumbar region of your spine supports much of your body’s weight, making it susceptible to wear and tear over time. Lumbar decompression surgery aims to reduce pressure by removing or reshaping parts of the spine, which can result in:

• Relief from persistent back or leg pain.
• Improved mobility and flexibility.
• Restoration of nerve function and quality of life.

Conditions Treated with Lumbar Decompression

Common conditions that may require lumbar decompression include:

• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, often due to aging or arthritis.
• Herniated Discs: Bulging or ruptured discs pressing on spinal nerves.
• Spondylolisthesis: Slippage of one vertebra over another, causing nerve compression.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear that can lead to nerve irritation.
• Trauma or Fractures: Injuries causing instability or pressure on the spine.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Lumbar Decompression

You may benefit from lumbar decompression surgery if you experience:

• Chronic lower back pain or leg pain (sciatica).
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs or feet.
• Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods.
• Loss of bladder or bowel control in severe cases (medical emergency).

How is Lumbar Decompression Diagnosed?

Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate your condition, including:

• Physical Examination: Assessing range of motion, strength, and nerve function.
• X-rays: To detect bone alignment and any structural changes.
• MRI or CT Scans: Detailed imaging to identify nerve compression or disc issues.

Treatment Options for Lumbar Decompression

Our comprehensive approach includes both non-surgical and surgical treatments tailored to your specific needs.

Non-Surgical Treatments

• Physical Therapy: Strengthening core muscles and improving posture.
• Pain Management: Medications, nerve blocks, or epidural injections to reduce inflammation and pain.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management, ergonomic adjustments, and gentle exercises.

Surgical Options

When non-surgical methods are insufficient, lumbar decompression surgery may be recommended. Our surgical procedures include:

• Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebra to relieve nerve pressure.
• Discectomy: Removal of the herniated or damaged portion of a disc.
• Foraminotomy: Widening of the foramen (nerve exit pathway) to reduce compression.
• Spinal Fusion: Stabilizing the spine with bone grafts and hardware after decompression.
