MILD Procedure (Percutaneous Image Guided Lumbar Decompression)

The MILD procedure is a groundbreaking, minimally invasive treatment designed to alleviate pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis. This technique involves using specialized tools and imaging guidance to remove small pieces of bone and excess ligament tissue, reducing pressure on the spinal nerves. The MILD procedure offers significant pain relief with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.

Vertiflex Procedure

The Vertiflex procedure is an innovative MIS treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis. It involves the implantation of a small device called the Superion Indirect Decompression System, which creates space in the spinal canal and relieves pressure on the nerves. This procedure is particularly beneficial for patients who experience leg and back pain while standing or walking. The Vertiflex procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, providing a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgery.

Intracept Procedure

The Intracept Procedure is a cutting-edge treatment designed to address chronic low back pain originating from the vertebral endplates. This minimally invasive procedure involves the ablation of the basivertebral nerve, which is responsible for transmitting pain signals. The Intracept Procedure has shown to provide long-lasting relief for patients suffering from chronic low back pain, significantly improving their quality of life.

Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures, often caused by osteoporosis. During the procedure, a balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra and inflated to create space. This space is then filled with a special bone cement, stabilizing the fracture and restoring the vertebra’s height. Kyphoplasty provides immediate pain relief and helps prevent further spinal deformity.
