Damage or disease can cause the bones or soft tissue in your back to press against the nerves of your spine, resulting in pain. While non-invasive treatments may help in some cases, it’s best to seek advice from a spine specialist if you’re experiencing persistent nerve compression. The team at Gottlieb Spine can provide guidance on whether spinal decompression surgery is right for you.

What is Decompression Surgery?
Decompression surgery is a term to describe spinal procedures that reduce pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. While the specific approach taken will vary among procedures, the goal of decompression surgery is all the same: to create more space in the spinal canal, alleviate pressure on the nerves, and provide relief from symptoms like pain or numbness. 

What Decompression Surgery is Best for Lower Back Pain?
Lumbar decompression surgery is targeted to treat lower back pain. This type of decompression is performed on the lumbar spine. Lumbar disc decompression can be accomplished by removing structures in the lower region of the spine, like vertebrae or discs, to create additional space within the spinal canal.

Several procedures fall under the category of lumbar decompression back surgery, including laminectomy, discectomy, and foraminotomy, among others. Your top-rated orthopedic spine surgeon may suggest multiple lumbar spine decompression treatments during one surgery to optimize your surgical outcome.

When conservative treatments fail to alleviate your back pain and associated symptoms, spinal reconstruction surgery may be required as a last resort. If it becomes necessary, it is crucial to consult with experienced spinal reconstruction surgeons. At Gottlieb Spine, we have a team of specialists, led by Dr. Jamie Gottlieb, offering this procedure at our convenient location in Irving. Contact us today to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. 

What is Spinal Reconstruction Surgery?
Spinal reconstruction surgery is a transformative procedure done to correct spinal deformities or misalignments. Reconstructive surgery becomes necessary when the damage or disease affects multiple levels of the spine. Your spine consists of 3 levels, listed from top to bottom:

• Cervical
• Thoracic
• Lumbar

Spinal reconstruction involves fusing the upper and lower vertebral bones to alleviate pain, correct the damage, and help you return to optimal health. The spinal reconstruction and fusion surgery creates a single bone from multiple vertebrae, thus stabilizing the spinal column. This is achieved by removing the damaged or diseased vertebrae and replacing them with an artificial device or bone graft.
