Spinal Nerve Compression

Spinal nerve compression happens when a nerve in your spine becomes pinched or irritated, often due to a herniated disc, bone spur, radiculopathy, or spinal stenosis, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.

Spinal Nerve Compression

Common Conditions

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. It often causes symptoms like pain, numbness, and muscle weakness, most commonly in the lower back and neck.

Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy refers to a condition where a nerve root in the spine is compressed, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness radiating along the path of the nerve. It commonly occurs due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal changes.

Symptoms

What You May Be Experiencing

What We Can Do for You

Microdiscectomy

Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove portions of a herniated disc that are pressing on a nerve root. It is commonly performed to relieve leg pain (sciatica) caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine.

Decompression / Laminectomy

Decompression surgery, including laminectomy, involves removing part of the vertebral bone called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors.

Minimally Invasive Fusion

Minimally invasive spinal fusion involves stabilizing the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae using small incisions and specialized instruments, reducing muscle damage and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. This technique is used to treat conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or scoliosis.

Causes

What Are the Causes?

Age-Related Degeneration

As we age, the intervertebral discs in our spine can begin to break down and lose their elasticity. This can lead to a disc herniation.

Trauma

A sudden injury or impact to the spine, such as from a car accident or a fall, can cause a disc herniation.

Overuse Injuries

Repeated strain on the spine, such as from heavy lifting or repetitive motions, can cause a disc herniation over time.

Poor Posture

Poor posture, such as slouching or hunching over a desk or computer, can put excess strain on the spine and lead to a disc herniation.

Obesity

Carrying excess weight can put additional pressure on the spine and increase the risk of a disc herniation.

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) is a surgical procedure to stabilize the lower back by removing a damaged disc and fusing two or more vertebrae together. Accessed through an incision in the abdomen, bone graft is then inserted into the disc space to promote solid bone growth, ultimately reducing pain and improving spinal stability.”
