What Is a Laminectomy?

A laminectomy is a form of spinal decompression surgery that removes part of the vertebral bone (the lamina) to relieve pressure on spinal nerves. This procedure is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments—like physical therapy or injections—have not resolved your symptoms.

Laminectomy is often used to treat:

Spinal stenosis
Herniated or bulging discs
Degenerative disc disease
Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
Nerve compression from bone spurs or arthritis

The goal is to alleviate pressure on the spinal nerves that cause radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness—particularly in the legs or arms.

Conditions Treated with Laminectomy

Our spine specialists in White Plains may recommend laminectomy if you're living with:

Lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis
Sciatica or leg pain caused by nerve compression
Disc herniations that haven't improved with conservative care
Spinal instability or deformity
Degenerative arthritis affecting the spine
Post-traumatic spinal nerve compression

Our expert team uses diagnostic imaging—including on-site MRI and X-ray—to ensure an accurate diagnosis before moving forward with surgery.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Laminectomy

Pre-Surgical Assessment

You’ll meet with your spine surgeon for a comprehensive evaluation. Using advanced imaging like MRI or CT scans, we’ll confirm the diagnosis and walk you through your surgical options and recovery expectations.

During the Procedure

Performed under general anesthesia, your surgeon will make a small incision and remove part of the lamina to decompress the affected nerve. Minimally invasive methods are used whenever appropriate, which helps reduce pain, scarring, and downtime.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Most patients return home the same day or within 24 hours. Physical therapy typically begins shortly after to rebuild strength and mobility. Our in-office rehab team at White Plains will work with you one-on-one to ensure a safe, successful recovery.
