Q&A About Foraminotomy Treatment:
Q1: What is Foraminotomy treatment?
A1: Foraminotomy is a surgical procedure designed to relieve nerve compression in the spine. It involves the removal of bone or tissue to widen the neural foramen, the passageway through which spinal nerves exit the spine.
Q2: What conditions can be treated with Foraminotomy?
A2: Foraminotomy is commonly used to treat conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve impingements that result in pain, numbness, and weakness.
Q3: How is Foraminotomy performed?
A3: During a Foraminotomy, a minimally invasive or open surgical approach is used to decompress the affected nerve. The surgeon removes bone or tissue to widen the neural foramen, relieving pressure on the nerve.
