Advanced Nerve Decompression at NYSI Newburgh

If you're dealing with numbness, tingling, or sharp radiating pain in your arms or legs, a pinched spinal nerve may be to blame. At New York Spine Institute in Newburgh, we offer foraminotomy surgery—a targeted, minimally invasive procedure that relieves nerve compression and restores function, comfort, and quality of life.

Conveniently located at 12 Hudson Valley Professional Plaza, our Newburgh office provides comprehensive, patient-focused spine care for individuals across Orange, Ulster, and Dutchess Counties—close to home and away from the congestion of big-city hospitals.

What Is a Foraminotomy?

A foraminotomy is a type of spinal decompression surgery that enlarges the neural foramen—the passageway where spinal nerves exit the spinal canal. When this space becomes narrowed due to conditions like arthritis, disc herniation, or spinal stenosis, it can pinch the nerve, leading to pain and neurological symptoms.

Common Symptoms:

Radiating arm or leg pain (sciatica)
Numbness or tingling in extremities
Muscle weakness or instability
Difficulty walking, lifting, or gripping

Through precise removal of bone or soft tissue, the foraminotomy procedure relieves this pressure—often through minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time and surgical risk.

Conditions Treated with Foraminotomy

Our NYSI Newburgh spine specialists may recommend foraminotomy surgery when non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medication have not provided lasting relief.

Conditions We Commonly Treat:

Cervical or lumbar spinal stenosis
Herniated or bulging discs
Bone spurs from osteoarthritis
Nerve root compression (radiculopathy)
Sciatica or radiating nerve pain
Persistent nerve compression after prior spine surgery
