This surgical procedure is performed through an incision on the lower back. The surgeon removes a section of bone called the lamina, from one or more of the vertebrae. This relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots caused by stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal).*
Although they can be fairly common, neck and back problems are never routine. Because they can be very painful and can impact your health and well- being, each condition we encounter at New York Spine Institute is handled with special, careful attention. In other words, we treat your spine problem as a unique situation, because it is. That way we can give you the most fitting care for your particular needs — care that’s founded on experience and sound medical principles.
We work in conjunction with your doctor to make sure we are providing appropriate care that suits your specific medical needs. When your doctor refers you to us for your back or neck problem, or for spine-related extremity pain, we’re always available to them for consultation about your case and to answer any questions. We also make sure that they’re always informed about your condition and treatment, and we rely on their valuable input about your medical history.
At New York Spine Institute, we provide the latest diagnostics and medical treatments for virtually every spine problem.* Here are some of the conditions we treat:
We make your life easier by resolving your spinal issue, but also by making the process as painless as possible as well.*
