Spinal Stenosis Surgery

Before considering spinal stenosis surgery, you probably exhausted yourself trying other treatments like cortisone injections, painkillers, muscle relaxers, and the like. You probably have tried stretching, exercising, resting, and eating a healthier diet, but nothing has made enough of a difference to maintain your quality of life. If that’s the case, then spinal stenosis surgery may be the only option that can relieve your back and neck pain.

This surgery aims to correct spinal stenosis by physically removing the substance that is constricting or narrowing the spinal canal. This may be tissue such as from a ligament, bone as from a bone spur, cartilage as from a bulging or herniated disc, or a combination of these and more.

What is Minimally Invasive Spinal Stenosis Surgery?

Many people choose to avoid spinal stenosis surgery because they believe the risks to be too high due to the use of general anesthesia, hospital stay, and long incision required by open back and neck procedures. However, these issues don’t exist with minimally invasive spinal stenosis surgery, which uses tiny tools to access the surgery site, resulting in less trauma to the body. That means the surgeon can use local rather than general anesthesia and perform the procedure on an outpatient basis. That leads to a quicker recovery, less chance of infection and other advantages.
