What Is a Laminectomy?

A laminectomy is a type of spinal decompression surgery that removes part of the lamina—the bony covering of the spinal canal. This creates more space around compressed nerves and helps relieve pressure caused by spinal stenosis, disc herniation, or degenerative spine conditions.

Common Reasons for a Laminectomy:

Lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis
Herniated or bulging discs
Bone spurs from arthritis
Degenerative disc disease
Spondylolisthesis (vertebra slippage)
Sciatica or nerve pain that radiates into the limbs

When conservative options like therapy, medications, or injections no longer provide relief, laminectomy can be an effective next step toward comfort and function.

Who Might Benefit from Laminectomy in West Orange?

You may be a candidate for laminectomy if you experience:

Ongoing leg, arm, or back pain due to nerve compression
Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in your extremities
Difficulty standing, walking, or lifting
Pain that worsens despite non-surgical treatment
Spinal pressure symptoms caused by wear, injury, or structural issues

What to Expect from the Procedure

Initial Evaluation

Your care begins with a thorough consultation at our West Orange office. We’ll assess your symptoms, physical function, and medical history to determine the right course of action.

During Surgery

Laminectomy is performed under general anesthesia. Through a small incision, your surgeon removes the portion of the vertebral bone compressing your spinal nerve. Whenever possible, minimally invasive techniques are used to limit tissue disruption and promote a smoother recovery.

After Surgery

Most patients go home within 24 hours. Your recovery plan may include gentle movement, anti-inflammatory support, and a custom rehabilitation program developed by our therapy team to help you regain strength and mobility.
