Spinal decompression
Spinal decompression is a procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It is commonly performed in conditions such as spinal stenosis and herniated intervertebral discs. Depending on the underlying pathology and symptom severity, treatment may be surgical or conservative. The goal is to reduce pain, improve neurological function, and enhance mobility. Spinal decompression is one of the most commonly performed procedures in spine surgery.
