Cervical Posterior Foraminotomy

If you are suffering from the effects of a compressed nerve in your neck, a cervical posterior foraminotomy might be the solution for you. Pain from a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease can significantly decrease your daily quality of life. Our award-winning surgeons can use innovative cervical spinal surgery techniques to relieve your pain.

What Is a Cervical Posterior Foraminotomy?

Cervical Posterior Foraminotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, that our board-certified surgeons use to remove pressure from pinched nerves in the neck. The pain is typically due to a herniated disc or degenerative disc disease such as cervical spinal stenosis. This cervical spine surgery is done by enlarging the space that the nerves pass through. There are three main ways to help relieve and remove the pressure of the spinal nerves:

• The first way involves removing part of the lamina, the formal term for the backside of the spinal vertebrae.
• The second way to remove pressure is to enlarge the foramen, which is the opening that nerves pass through as they exit the front of the spine.
• Additionally, your surgeon might remove some of the bulging disc material to relieve the compression on your spinal nerves.

If you are dealing with discomfort from osteoarthritis, a herniated disc, slipped disc or spinal stenosis, this procedure might be the perfect solution for you. Don’t continue to endure in agony with endless prescription drugs, come see us today. Our seasoned team of doctors is here to help you.
