The decompression process in general strives to remove the tissue compressing a spinal nerve. - Foraminotomy: Removal of bone or tissue at/in the passageway (called the neuroforamen) where nerve roots branch off the spinal cord and exit the spinal column.
- Disc Replacement: As an alternative to fusion, the injured disc is replaced with an artificial one.

- Spinal Fusion: A surgical technique used to join two vertebrae. Spinal fusion may include the use of a bone graft with or without instrumentation (eg, rods, screws). There are different types of bone graft, such as your own bone (autograft) and donor bone (allograft). A fusion can be accomplished by different approaches:
- ALIF, PLIF, TLIF, LIF: All pertain to lumbar interbody fusion used to stabilize the spinal vertebrae and eliminate movement between the bones.
- Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
- Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
- Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion, which is a surgical approach through the foramen.
- Lateral Interbody Fusion, which is a minimally invasive approach done from a side of the body.
- ALIF, PLIF, TLIF, LIF: All pertain to lumbar interbody fusion used to stabilize the spinal vertebrae and eliminate movement between the bones.
