Posterior Cervical Decompression

Posterior cervical decompression is a surgical procedure that relieves pressure on the spinal cord or nerves in the neck area. It involves removing small parts of the bone or tissue, such as bone spurs or herniated discs, that may be causing compression. This helps reduce pain, improve nerve function, and prevent further neurological issues. The surgery typically involves making an incision in the back of the neck, then carefully accessing and decompressing the affected areas. It’s often performed to treat conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs, aiming to restore normal nerve and spinal cord function.
