Conditions Treated
Post-Laminectomy Syndrome
A laminectomy is a surgical procedure which removes a certain amount of bone and relieves pressure on damaged nerves. This procedure will help you regain function, but can leave you with persistent pain. Regular physical exercise, maintaining a normal weight and healthy lifestyle are important to control pain.
More aggressive treatment may involve physical therapy, periodic spinal injections, and spinal cord stimulation.
