Foraminotomy Description
What a Foraminotomy Can Do For You
A foraminotomy is a precise surgical solution that can provide significant relief from nerve-related pain and restore your quality of life. At Legent Spine, our experienced surgeons specialize in this minimally invasive procedure designed to free compressed nerves and help you return to your daily activities.
Understanding Foraminotomy
This targeted surgical procedure creates more space for nerve roots exiting your spine through small openings called foramina. When these passages become narrowed due to conditions like herniated discs or bone spurs, they can compress nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in your arms or legs. A foraminotomy carefully enlarges these openings, relieving pressure on the affected nerves.
Benefits of Choosing Foraminotomy at Legent Spine
- Minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions
- Reduced recovery time compared to traditional surgery
- Precise nerve decompression using advanced surgical technology
- Significant relief from radiating pain and numbness
- Improved mobility and function
What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if foraminotomy is right for you. Our surgeons use state-of-the-art imaging and microsurgical techniques to perform the procedure with maximum precision and minimal tissue disruption. Most patients return home the same day and begin experiencing relief within weeks of the procedure.
Recovery and Results
Recovery typically involves a brief period of rest followed by gentle physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility. Many patients report significant improvement in their symptoms and can gradually return to normal activities under our guidance. At Legent Spine, we’re committed to supporting you throughout your recovery journey with personalized care and expertise.
