Understanding Cervical Foraminotomy
Cervical foraminotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to relieve pressure on nerves exiting the cervical spine.
The surgery involves enlarging the foramen — the small openings where nerve roots leave the spinal canal — to alleviate symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms.
At Complete Medical Wellness, we specialize in cervical foraminotomy surgery in NJ & NY, providing patients with precise, targeted relief using the latest minimally invasive methods.

Conditions Treated by Cervical Foraminotomy
Cervical foraminotomy is commonly recommended for:
- Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve)
- Herniated cervical discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Foraminal stenosis
- Bone spurs (osteophytes) compressing nerves
It is often selected when symptoms are isolated to one side of the body and caused by nerve compression at a specific cervical level.
What to Expect During Cervical Foraminotomy Surgery
Procedure Overview:
- A small incision is made at the back of the neck.
- Muscles are carefully retracted to expose the spine.
- A small amount of bone or disc material compressing the nerve is removed.
- The nerve root is decompressed, relieving pressure and symptoms.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Cervical Foraminotomy:
- Smaller incisions and minimal muscle disruption
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
- Preservation of spinal stability and movement
Our surgeons use image guidance and microsurgical techniques to enhance precision and minimize tissue impact.
