Decompression Surgery

Decompression surgery is a medical procedure aimed at relieving pressure on nerves or the spinal cord caused by conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs. The surgeon removes or shrinks the structures pressing on the nerves, which can reduce pain, numbness, and weakness. The goal is to restore normal nerve function and improve mobility. The surgery’s complexity varies depending on the problem’s location and severity, and it is typically performed under anesthesia with careful post-surgical care to promote healing and recovery.
