In a foraminotomy, Dr. Ball widens the tunnel (foramen) in your back where nerve roots leave your spinal canal. It is done to relieve symptoms of nerve root compression. This procedure is done to treat conditions such as foraminal stenosis, herniated disc, pinched nerve, bone spur, and sciatica. #spinehealth #foraminotomy #backpain #spinesurgery #cuttingedgecare
A discectomy involves the removal of the herniated portion of a disc to relieve irritation and inflammation of a nerve. A discectomy may be done to treat conditions such as herniated disc, pinched nerve, bone spur, sciatica, and radiculopathy (pinched nerve). #discectomy #spinesurgery #spinesurgeon #sanramon #bayarea

A corpectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of a vertebra for the purpose of taking pressure off the spinal cord and nerves. This pressure is often due to stenosis, bone spurs, fractures, tumor, or infection in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) spine. Typically, a bone graft or prosthesis is inserted to keep the spine stable after the damaged structures have been removed. #spinesurgery #corpectomy #spinalhealth #bayarea #cuttingedgespinecare
Artificial disc replacement is a motion-preserving surgery, recommended for patients who have degenerative disc disease or who have previously failed decompression surgeries or microdiscectomies. The concept of motion preservation in spine surgery is to preserve the motion of a diseased spinal motion segment by implanting a mobile replacement device into the disc space. In contrast to fusions, this method prevents added force or pressure on the surrounding discs and reduces the risk of the next level breaking down. Dr. Ball is experienced in performing artificial disc replacement surgeries for both the cervical and lumbar spine. He teaches and certifies other spine surgeons to perform these procedures. #spinehealth #cuttingedgecare #motion
