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.

At Advanced Spine Care Clinic, Dr. B. Leela Prasad—renowned for performing the best lumbar decompression surgery in Visakhapatnam—offers advanced and personalized care to help you regain comfort, mobility, and an active life.

What is Lumbar Decompression?

When conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis compress nerves in the lower back, it can lead to persistent pain and limited mobility. Lumbar decompression surgery is a specialized spine surgery aimed at removing or reshaping parts of the vertebrae to relieve this pressure.

Dr. B. Leela Prasad, an expert in minimally invasive lumbar decompression surgery in Vizag, ensures that patients benefit from reduced pain, restored nerve function, and improved spinal performance with faster recovery times.

• 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.
