Dr. Kevin Ju, explains what decompression surgery is and who would be a good candidate. So, what is Decompression Surgery?
Any surgery that relieves compression of the spinal cord or spinal nerves is considered to be decompression surgery. If the compression results from a disc herniation, the surgery is a discectomy. If the compression is because of a narrowed spinal canal that is placing pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots, this surgery is a laminectomy. A laminectomy removes the back wall of the spinal canal to create more space for the spinal cord.

This is a very well explained video. The UK has many issues with the NHS but we are so fortunate to have amazing talented doctors and wonderful treatments/operations to correct nerve compression . The best thing of all is that its all free. Plus top end care.
This is more than was explained to me
could you please explain about the decompression surgery on femoral neck for lack of blood flow.??
i have both lateral recesses impinged !! i have a broad disc bulge causing it. i don’t really care for the disk itself to be cut as i assume it will just bulge again , would my options be looking at shaving the bone instead to give them more room?
Cervical spondylitis myelopathy surgery can be performed on 75 years suffering from hypertension,diabetes n COPD ?
I was very inspired watching this video it make me stronger cause I never had any surgery since i fell down from the coconut tree and suffered from C5 spinal injury since 2017 I just wanna know if spinal surgery really help people like me suffered from spinal injury
Hi Frank, while every patient's condition is different, and a tailored treatment program should be used for each individual, the broad answer is yes, spine surgery helps people find relief and get back to their normal life every day. But finding the right doctor to treat your individual spine condition is very important. Please remember, not all patients require surgery or are candidates for specific surgeries depending on their condition. If you would like to talk to a spine care specialist, give us a call at 972-608-5000, or visit www.texasback.com. Thanks
Dr. Kevin Ju, thanks for the informative video. What is the best analysis to determine the cause for excruciating lower back pain? Would an MRI on the spine is suggested? I do not feel any numbness or problems in my legs. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hey Dennis, we can't recommend a form of diagnostics for you with out speaking with you in person or in a telemedicine visit. Please feel free to set up an appointment by calling us at 972-608-500 or 1-800-247-BACK (2225)

Hi Mike, we recommend you should call/discuss your condition with your treating physician.
I'm from india. My back pain problem L5s1 dis prolaps
This is great! Laminectomy can fix lumbar and cervical stenosis right? What is the recurrence concern?
Hi, each case is different depending on the condition and the person. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a spine specialist give us a call at 972-608-5000, or visit www.texasback.com. Thanks
Thank you for the explanation.. I am going to have this surgery within the next few weeks. Im nervous but looking forward to it. My pain is relentless
Can I ask how your Surgery went??? I can barely walk... went from Athletic to Nothing.... see my Surgeon in Canada in 2 days...after waiting 2 years just to get an appointment
Please can you both give me a follow up on everything. I have disc degeneration l3 ,l4, and s1. Also went from athletic working out. To now have low back pain and burning numbness in the legs sometimes. Going to try injections and spinal decompression therapy before any thing else
@@jakez5227 I am trying Ablation next, also I got an Epidural for Leg, and trying another in 2 weeks, losing muscle and nerves... they are sending me for L4 block and if that works MIGHT be candidate for Surgery... slow process in Canada..IF I had the $ I'd got to the States in a minute... Canada Health Care SUCKS
@@timothyj1966 thanks for the info. This is no way to live, feel like my quality of life has went in the gutter. What's crazy is the pain management doctor said basically I'm not that bad off. Just hopefully I can stop the progress or slow it down of degeneration.
@@jakez5227 right there with you bud.. keep trying new Drs til you get one who listens... My life is in the gutter too... no gym since October I literally watch my body lose muscle and am depressed and frustrated...
Doc I have L4L5 disc prolapse. My doctor is planning for decompression ASAP. Im really scared and has asked for some time. But that is the only treatment left, as all the conservative management including neurobion and aggressive physiotherapy have failed. I can barely walk now. Cramps and numbness are owning my body. What must I do. Im only 48
I have the same problem for 2 years. I'm only 37 and my life is decrepit. No work for 2 year's.
Im dealing with this bullshit back injury. I get sciatica and numbness in both legs alternating. It's depressing as hell. I can't even work and have to take time off. If i knew surgery could fix my issue,I would say hell yeah.

Did you got rid of your problem now ?
@@karthikpinamkar5863 nah I'm still going through hell. Apparently I have osteoporosis. I'm only 36.
Hello sir I have been feeling numbness below my heeps mainly left side doctor wrote two medicine pregablin and nerobion forte for three months and said if condition not improve then thoracic spine surgery tell me sir what precautions should I take untill I will not get surgery
GET PHYSIOTHERAPY! Exhaust options like this before considering surgery!
Good morning sir,I had a small accident about a month ago and I have no symptoms but there is a small numbness in the side of buttocks, presently I am in bed rest since last 6 weeks
Hi Venum, unfortunately we cannot recommend any form of treatment for your condition without seeing you in person, or talking with you via an official telemedicine appointment. Please feel free to call us at 972-608-5000 or 1-800-247-BACK (2225)
can compression actually be the result of back surgery? I had a disc blow out and a Discectomy as a result. Over 10 years ago. Have been dealing with a numb right foot (bottom only, about 1/2 the foot) and numbness on the back of my right leg ever since. I didn't have any of this numbness prior to the surgery. So, clearly something is pressing against a nerve. just not sure if, after 10 years, anything can be done.
Man_______Forget fisio_Direct for surgery 100%
How about spine manipulation and whole spine compressed and left back and neck compressed ?
Hi Neil, when our physicians see a patient they look at the medical history, any diagnostic imaging that the patient has had, and a physical evaluation to best determine a treatment plan, and help each patient decide the best course of action for their spine needs.
One year went by still can't walk I don't recommend surgery!
what was the surgery, and for what reason? i belive you and im very sorry for you, I'm also suffering with nerve root compression
Surgery was the best thing I ever did and I got my life back living pain free. I got surgery exactly one year ago for my L5-S1 and I do not regret it.
Talking to my Surgeon in 2 more days after waiting 2 years just to see a Surgeon here in Canada. Leg and buttock pain excruciating. Gone from Athletic to barely walk.
Sorry to hear that, if you would like to talk to a spine care specialist, give us a call at 972-608-5000, or visit www.texasback.com. Thanks
Im going to see if im a candidate for MINIMALLY invasive Lumbar Decompression .......
Hope things worked out for you.....
Do these surgeries really help with sciatica nerve and people get back to normal?? Any response will be appreciated
Had it done 6 months ago. The outcome is outstanding. Just got my normal life back! 😊
