At Gerling Spine Care NY, we offer Cervical Laminoplasty, a procedure that relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerves in the cervical spine. Commonly used to treat spinal stenosis and myelopathy, this surgery helps reduce pain, weakness, and numbness in the neck, arms, and hands. Led by spine expert Dr. Michael Gerling, our team provides personalized, minimally invasive care for faster recovery and better outcomes for New York patients.
Benefits of Cervical Laminoplasty
Cervical Laminoplasty offers several key advantages:
- Spinal Decompression: The procedure effectively relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, reducing symptoms like pain, weakness, and numbness in the arms and hands.
- Motion Preservation: Unlike spinal fusion, which limits movement, laminoplasty preserves the natural range of motion in the neck.
- Minimally Invasive: This procedure is less invasive than traditional approaches, leading to a quicker recovery and reduced risk of complications.
- Improved Function: Patients often experience a significant improvement in mobility and a reduction in pain, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner.
