Foraminoplasty & Annuloplasty

Foraminoplasty & Annuloplasty – Precision Spine Treatments

Foraminoplasty and Annuloplasty are advanced, minimally invasive spine procedures designed to relieve nerve compression and chronic back pain. These techniques effectively treat herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and nerve impingement, helping patients regain mobility without the need for open surgery.

Foraminoplasty – Expanding Nerve Pathways

• The foramen is the small opening through which spinal nerves exit.
• Due to disc herniation or bone overgrowth, this space can narrow, leading to nerve compression, pain, and weakness.
• Foraminoplasty involves using an endoscope and specialized tools to widen the foramen, removing any obstructions and creating more space for the nerve.

Annuloplasty – Strengthening the Disc Wall

• The annulus fibrosus is the tough outer ring of spinal discs.
• When damaged, it can lead to disc bulging, herniation, and chronic pain.
• Annuloplasty uses controlled thermal energy to seal and reinforce the annulus, reducing inflammation and stabilizing the disc.

Who Needs These Procedures?

• Patients with chronic lower back pain from disc damage
• Those suffering from sciatica, leg pain, or numbness due to nerve compression
• Individuals diagnosed with spinal stenosis or herniated discs
• People looking for non-surgical alternatives to open spine surgery

Benefits of Foraminoplasty & Annuloplasty

• Minimally invasive – No major incisions, less scarring
• Quick Recovery – Patients often resume normal activities in days
• Effective Pain Relief – Targets the source of nerve compression and instability
• Reduced Risk – Lower chance of infection, complications, or spinal instability

These cutting-edge procedures provide lasting relief and improved spinal function, allowing patients to regain their quality of life without major surgery!
