Nerve decompression surgery

Nerve decompression surgery involves relieving pressure on a compressed nerve to reduce pain, numbness, or weakness. This procedure is typically performed when bone spurs, herniated discs, or other structures irritate or impinge on nerves, impairing their function. During surgery, the surgeon carefully removes or alleviates the source of compression, creating more space around the nerve. The goal is to restore normal nerve function and alleviate symptoms, often resulting in improved mobility and comfort. This procedure is common for conditions like herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, or spinal stenosis.
