Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD)
Are you experiencing difficulty standing or walking for an extended period of time? If you find relief bending forward, sitting, or have been diagnosed with LSS, MILD might be an option for you.
What is the MILD Procedure?
Minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MILD) is an outpatient procedure that helps patients experiencing symptoms of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS).
Up to 85% of spinal canal narrowing is caused by thickened ligament. MILD addresses this major root cause of LSS by removing excess ligament tissue using specialized tools and imaging and leaves no implants behind.
Who is a Good Candidate for MILD?
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses
the nerves in the lower back. People with LSS typically experience a variety of symptoms that affect
daily life, including pain and limited mobility.
What Can I Expect from This Procedure?
MILD is a short outpatient procedure that is typically performed in less than one hour. Most patients return home the same day and typically resume normal activity within 24 hours with no restrictions. Only light sedation and local anesthetic is used to provide comfort during the procedure.
