Spinal decompression surgery is a significant medical procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities. This type of surgery is typically considered when other non-surgical treatments have failed to provide relief. Here’s a look at who might need spinal decompression surgery:
Candidates for Spinal Decompression Surgery
Herniated or Bulging Discs: When the soft material inside a disc pushes through a tear in the disc’s outer layer, it can press on the nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. If conservative treatments like physical therapy, medication, or spinal injections do not relieve these symptoms, surgery might be necessary.
Spinal Stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Symptoms include back pain, leg pain, and difficulty walking. Severe cases that do not respond to other treatments may require decompression surgery.
Degenerative Disc Disease: As discs wear down over time, they can cause chronic pain and other symptoms. In cases where pain is severe and persistent, and non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgery may be an option.
Sciatica: This is a condition where pain radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. If sciatica is caused by a herniated disc or spinal stenosis and does not improve with conservative treatments, decompression surgery might be considered.
Spondylolisthesis: This occurs when one of the vertebrae slips out of place onto the vertebra below it, which can compress the nerves. Surgery may be necessary if the slippage causes significant pain or nerve compression that doesn’t respond to other treatments.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome: Some patients who have had previous back surgery may continue to experience pain or new symptoms. In these cases, additional decompression surgery might be needed to address unresolved issues.
