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.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Foraminotomy in Commack

At NYSI, we focus on minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) to improve patient comfort and accelerate recovery. Foraminotomy can often be performed through small incisions using advanced tools such as microscopes and tubular retractors.

Advantages of MISS:

  • Less muscle and tissue disruption
  • Shorter recovery time
  • Reduced postoperative pain
  • Minimal scarring
  • Outpatient or next-day discharge

Patients across Suffolk County appreciate the ability to receive expert care without traveling into the city.

What to Expect Before and After Surgery

Your care begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Commack office. We’ll assess your medical history, review imaging, and determine if foraminotomy is right for your condition.

During the Procedure

  • A small incision is made near the problem area
  • Muscles are gently moved aside
  • Bone or tissue compressing the nerve is removed
  • The spinal nerve is decompressed and repositioned

Recovery Process

  • Most patients go home the same day
