Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD®) Procedure for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) in NJ
What is the MILD® Procedure for Stenosis?
Do you find yourself having difficulty walking or standing without low back or leg pain? Have spinal injections stopped working? If so, you may have lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). It is estimated that over 1 million Americans suffer from LSS at any given time.
LSS is caused by age related changes that occur to your spine, causing pressure on the spinal cord and nerves resulting in pain, burning, numbness and tingling into your legs and feet. LSS symptoms often relieved by sitting or leaning forward.
Discover the Revolutionary MILD® Treatment for Lumbar Stenosis
The MILD® procedure is a safe, effective, non-surgical procedure that relives nerve pressure through a targeted minimally invasive approach. Mild® procedure provides lasting relief while preserving spinal stability. Patients report substantial improvements in walking distance, pain reduction, and overall function.
Benefits of MILD®
- Covered by Medicare
- 85% Patient satisfaction rate – 7x stand longer, 16x walk farther
- Minimally invasive – No stitches or implants
- Same day outpatient procedure – No hospital stay required
- Quick recovery – Most patients resume activities within days
- Significant pain relief – Proven to improve mobility and reduce discomfort
How Does MILD® Work?
During the procedure, our skilled surgeons make a small incision in your lower back. Using X-ray guidance, they carefully access the spinal canal and use specialized instruments to remove the excess tissue and bone spurs that are compressing the nerves. By decompressing the spinal canal, we can alleviate your pain and help you regain your mobility.
One of the significant advantages of MILD® is that it’s performed under local anesthetic with light sedation. This means you’ll experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and a faster recovery compared to traditional open spinal surgery. Most patients can return home the same day and resume their normal activities within a few weeks.
