Causes
Vertebral Spondylosis and osteophytes formation
Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy
Disc prolapses
Spondylolisthesis
Post laminectomy Epidural fibrosis, adhesion, granulation tissue
Symptoms
Severe neck or back pain which is usually associated with radiculopathy. Pain usually increases on standing and during activities. Sometimes pain occurs on lying down in the form of severe burning sensation in the extremities.
Non-surgical treatment
Selective nerve root injection with adhesiolytic agents. Together with epidural adhesiolysis using RACZ catheter (Neuroplasty)
Pulsed Radiofrequency for the nerve root. For pain modulation and treatment of the nerve inflammation
Per cutaneous laser disc decompression. Decreasing the internal disc dimensions thus providing more space in the spinal canal
All minimally invasive spine procedures are done under local anaesthesia and sedation. Fluoroscopic guided. Procedure duration usually lasts anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes. Patients are instructed to leave the hospital after 2 hours and return to their normal daily activities after 24 to 48 hours.
