Lower Spine Decompression Through the Bone Pillar

Relieves pressure on a spinal nerve in the lower back by working through the bony pillar at the side of the vertebra to reach material that a standard approach from behind cannot get to, such as a disc fragment that has escaped out beyond the nerve exit.
