Foraminotomy Procedure
At OC Spine Centers, our board-certified physicians specialize in treating spinal conditions with the top treatment options. Treatments for spine conditions range from conservative therapies to minimally invasive spine surgeries. We offer the leading decompression and stabilization spinal surgeries to treat spinal conditions. Foraminotomy surgery is a type of decompression procedure utilized to target the source of compression and relieve crippling symptoms. This procedure has quickly surpassed traditional back surgery once used to treat spinal conditions with its minimally invasive and progressive surgical approach.
Foraminotomy Surgery Treats:
What to Expect
The spine is made up of vertebrae and discs. The foramina are on both sides of the vertebrae. The foramina function as nerve root passageways that allow nerves to travel out into the rest of the body. Due to various causes, the foramina can become compressed and lead to a variety of debilitating symptoms. The foraminotomy procedure directly targets the source of compression and removes this hindrance. This procedure most commonly treats symptoms of chronic pain, numbness, and limited mobility.
