Through this minimally-invasive procedure, the lumbar decompression surgery will allow patients to feel pain relief from the following conditions:
Spinal Stenosis
Due to aging and wear and tear, the spinal canal may narrow, increasing pressure in the spine and causing pain in the lower back and neck. Common symptoms are muscle weakness, numbness, and muscle pain. At times, this condition can be treated with medication and constant physical therapy. However, if pain doesn’t improve, you may need decompression treatment.
Slipped Disc or Sciatica
A slipped disc in the spine is known to cause severe pain or sciatica. This pain can originate in the lower back and shoot all the way down through the leg and to the foot, making walking or standing difficult for people with this condition.
Spinal Injury
Car accidents are the top cause of spinal injuries in the US. However, this condition also affects sports players and those who are highly active. Trauma to the spine may cause damage to the nerves in the back. Without treatment, this condition can lead to paralysis and affect the patient’s ability to walk.
