Surgical Decompression

Surgical decompression is a procedure to relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord that can cause pain, weakness, or other symptoms. It involves removing or reshaping parts of bone, tissue, or discs that are pressing on these structures. The goal is to restore normal nerve function and reduce discomfort, allowing the patient to recover or improve their mobility. This procedure is commonly used to treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. It’s performed by a surgeon and usually involves a careful assessment to ensure the pressure is effectively relieved while minimizing risks.
