The surgeon and or physiatrist both use fluoroscopy. Which is real time X-rays to guide their instruments.

A physiatrist or surgeon makes a small incision in the back and uses fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging) to guide specialized instruments to remove excess bone or ligament tissue that is compressing the nerves.
