Commack, NY Foraminotomy

Relieve nerve compression and reclaim your comfort—right here in Suffolk County.

Advanced Spinal Decompression at NYSI Commack

If you’re living with persistent numbness, tingling, or radiating pain in your arms or legs, the root cause could be a compressed spinal nerve. At New York Spine Institute in Commack, we offer foraminotomy surgery—a minimally invasive solution that relieves nerve pressure and restores mobility for patients across Long Island.

Located at 312A Commack Road, our Suffolk County office provides comprehensive spine care in one convenient location, including minimally invasive surgery, pain management, and rehabilitation.

What Is a Foraminotomy?

A foraminotomy is a precise spine surgery that widens the neural foramen—the small passageways where spinal nerves exit the spine. These openings can become narrowed due to conditions like herniated discs, arthritis, or spinal stenosis, leading to nerve compression and painful symptoms.

You may benefit from a foraminotomy if you’re experiencing:

Radiating pain (sciatica, arm or leg pain)
Numbness or tingling
Muscle weakness
Difficulty walking, gripping, or using your limbs

Our goal is to decompress the affected nerve and restore your function—without damaging healthy tissue.
