What is Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression is a medical procedure that aims to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the spine. It involves creating space within the spinal column to alleviate symptoms and improve spinal function.

Who Performs Spinal Decompression?
Spinal decompression procedures are typically performed by neurosurgeons or orthopedic surgeons specializing in spine surgery. These specialists have expertise in diagnosing spinal conditions and determining the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient.
Technology Used in Spinal Decompression:
Spinal decompression may involve the use of various technologies and surgical techniques to achieve the desired outcome. Some commonly used technologies include:
Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a specialized microscope and small surgical instruments to remove a portion of a herniated disc that may be compressing spinal nerves.
Laminectomy: This procedure involves removing a portion of the vertebral bone (lamina) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
Endoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques: These advanced technologies enable surgeons to perform spinal decompression with smaller incisions, improved visualization, and enhanced precision.
