Hello, everyone! Sahil Sheikh here. Today, I am going to tell you about Foraminotomy Surgery Treatment, which is one of the best ways to relieve nerve compression in the spine.

 Sometimes, the small places where the nerves come out of the spine get pressed. This pressure can cause the affected area to go numb, tingle, or hurt, and even cause the arms or legs to get weak, thus making the person little difficult to live life.


Foraminotomy is a surgery that helps to release the pressure on the nerve root in the spine. The spine surgeon removes the bone spur, a part of the disc, or soft tissue that is causing the impingement to free the foramen. The nerve is less compressed. The minimally invasive surgery is done under general anesthesia, and the patient can return to normal soon.
