Decompression surgery is a procedure aimed at relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, which can be caused by conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs. This pressure can lead to severe pain, numbness, and weakness, affecting your ability to perform everyday activities.
Cervical disc replacement involves replacing damaged or degenerated discs in the neck with artificial discs, restoring natural spinal movement and alleviating pain. This procedure is ideal for patients with herniated or degenerated discs causing chronic pain and limited mobility.

A herniated disc is when the intervertebral disc ruptures, spilling its jelly-like center into the spinal canal. Different terms are used to express the variances in appearance and the severity of different types of herniations.

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. It often causes symptoms like pain, numbness, and muscle weakness, most commonly in the lower back and neck.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure where a damaged cervical disc is removed through an incision in the front of the neck. After disc removal, a bone graft or implant is placed to fuse the adjacent vertebrae, stabilizing the spine and alleviating symptoms such as pain and neurological impairment.
Cervical artificial disc replacement is a procedure in which a damaged cervical disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc. This surgery aims to maintain motion at the treated vertebral level, offering an alternative to spinal fusion and reducing the risk of adjacent segment degeneration.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure primarily used to treat herniated discs in the lumbar region. During the surgery, Dr. Macyszyn will remove the portion of the disc that is pressing on the nerve root, using a small incision and specialized instruments. This technique ensures a quicker recovery time and less post-operative discomfort.
A laminectomy involves removing a portion of the vertebra called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often recommended for patients with spinal stenosis. By creating more space within the spinal canal, a laminectomy can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility.
Dr. Macyszyn is a compassionate, board-certified professional with over 15 years of comprehensive training and experience.
Repeated strain on the spine, such as from heavy lifting or repetitive motions, can cause a disc herniation over time.
Poor posture, such as slouching or hunching over a desk or computer, can put excess strain on the spine and lead to a disc herniation.
Carrying excess weight can put additional pressure on the spine and increase the risk of a disc herniation.
Cervical Disc Replacement involves replacing damaged or degenerated discs in the neck with artificial discs, restoring natural spinal movement and alleviating pain. This procedure is ideal for patients with herniated or degenerated discs causing chronic pain and limited mobility.
Decompression surgery, including laminectomy, involves removing part of the vertebral bone called the lamina to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This procedure is often used to treat spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or tumors.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure where a damaged cervical disc is removed through an incision in the front of the neck. After disc removal, a bone graft or implant is placed to fuse the adjacent vertebrae, stabilizing the spine and alleviating symptoms such as pain and neurological impairment.
Microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove portions of a herniated disc that are pressing on a nerve root. It is commonly performed to relieve leg pain (sciatica) caused by nerve compression in the lumbar spine.
