Lumbar Decompression Surgery

Relieve Pressure, Regain Comfort

Lumbar Decompression Surgery is a specialized procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the lower back. It is often caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative changes. At Advanced Spine Care Clinic, we specialize in providing effective lumbar decompression treatments to restore mobility and ease chronic pain. Thus, helping patients regain an active and pain-free life.

What is Lumbar Decompression?

Herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative changes are common causes of pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in the lower back. These can be alleviated through the surgical process known as lumbar decompression. Patients are able to reclaim their quality of life after this operation. Removing or altering vertebrae reduces pain, restores mobility, and improves spinal function.

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:

  • Long-term back pain: Continual discomfort that does not go away even after taking medication or resting.
  • Leg Pain and Numbness: Discomfort, tingling, or loss of feeling in the lower extremities.
  • Weakness in the Legs: Challenges with mobility, including standing, walking, and lifting.
  • Falling or Having Trouble Balancing: Problems with long periods of standing and coordination.
  • Irregular Bowel or Bladder Movements: An emergency necessitates prompt medical intervention.
  • Painful or prickling feelings: Discrepant or unpleasant feelings in the legs, abdomen, or lower back.
  • Minimal Flexibility: The lower back is stiff and has limited mobility.

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.
