Spinal decompression is the relief of pressure on one or many pinched nerves (neural impingement) of the spinal column.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=spinal decompression - definition of spinal decompression in the Medical dictionary - by the Free Online Medical Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia )〕 Spinal decompression can be achieved both surgically and non-surgically and is used to treat conditions that result in chronic back pain such as disc bulge, disc herniation, sciatica, spinal stenosis, isthmic and degenerative spondylolisthesis. ==Surgical spinal decompression== Surgical spinal decompression may be performed using one of these common procedures: Microdiscectomy (or microdecompression) is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure in which a portion of a herniated nucleus pulposus is removed by way of a surgical instrument or laser while using an operating microscope or loupe for magnification.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Back and Leg Pain - Definition List | Resources | HJD Spine Center )〕 Laminectomy (or open decompression) is a surgical procedure which can be invasive or where possible minimally invasive, in which a small portion of the arch of the vertebrae (bone) is removed from the spine to alleviate the pressure on the pinched nerve. This is an elective procedure for patients who have not had relief of back pain through more conservative treatment options.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Laminectomy - procedure, recovery, test, blood, tube, removal, pain, complications, adults, time, infection, operation, medication, heart, types, risk, rate, Definition )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「spinal decompression」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
