Suffering from neck or arm pain due to stenosis? We offer specialized treatments
Spinal stenosis in the neck can pinch nerves, leading to pain, tingling and even loss of strength in the arms. Flexclinics offers both classic surgeries as well as minimally invasive techniques to relieve pressure on nerves and reduce pain. Using modern technology we provide rapid recovery and long-term pain relief.
What is Spinal Stenosis in the Neck?
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal (the space around the nerves) becomes narrowed, putting pressure on the nerves. This can lead to symptoms such as:
- Pain in the neck radiating to the shoulders and arms.
- Tingling or numbness in the arms, hands or fingers.
- Muscle weakness that makes it difficult to perform daily tasks.
- Aggravation of pain on standing or walking., but improvement when sitting or bending forward.
If these symptoms persist and do not respond to conservative treatments, surgery may be necessary.
Classic Stenosis Surgery (ACDF).
The classic treatment for spinal stenosis in the neck is the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), in which the narrowed space is enlarged and the vertebrae fixed to relieve the nerves.
How does it work?
-The damaged disc or bone is removed through a small incision at the front of the neck.
-The vertebrae are then fixed with an implant or bone graft to restore stability to the neck.
Advantages:
✅ Relief of nerve pressure and restoration of mobility.
✅ Long-term solution For stenosis complaints.
✅ Suitable for severe cases with large strictures.
Ultra Minimally Invasive Stenosis Surgery with Endoscopy
In the minimally invasive technique, we use an endoscope (camera) to treat the stenosis through a small incision, making the surgery less stressful on the body.
How does it work?
- Through a small incision on the side of the neck, the stenosis is treated using a camera and precision instruments.
- The procedure is done under local anesthesia or light anesthesia and has a shorter recovery time.
Advantages:
✅ Smaller incision → Less scarring.
✅ Faster recovery → Patients usually experience less pain and can regain movement more quickly.
✅ Less chance of complications such as infections or bleeding.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, you will be guided in your recovery process:
- Immediately after surgery: Most patients can go home the same day. Light mobilization exercises are started immediately.
- Physical Therapy: We recommend physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility in the neck and prevent further complications.
- Monitoring visits: Your progress will be monitored regularly to best guide recovery.
Most patients can resume normal activities after 2 to 6 weeks.
