A response to a viewer question regarding the surgical procedure known as a foraminotomy. In this procedure, the hole where a nerve exits the spine is enlarged in an effort to relieve impingement of the nerve, and subsequent pain. Stenosis, or reduction in the size of this hole is a common source of sciatica, and other radiating types of nerve pain. Below is an image of the neural exit foramina between two vertebrae.
Stay tuned for updates on the Fitness Challenge, and coming next week Pilates instructor Amanda Mitchell shares her One Thing.
Thanks for all of the great feedback, and be well.
