Spinal Stenosis Foraminotomy
The spinal stenosis treatment known as a foraminotomy is a surgical procedure in which the foramen, an opening from the cervical spinal canal, is enlarged in order to alleviate pinching of a spinal root nerve. This enlargement is accomplished by removing some of the bone around the foramen. A foraminotomy is performed alongside a laminectomy.
Foraminotomy procedures may treat:
- Foraminal Stenosis
- Sciatica
- Herniated Disc
- Bulging Disc
- Pinched Nerve
- Bone Spurs
- Arthritis of the Spine
