MILD procedure is a rapid, safe outpatient surgery performed through a tiny, stitch-free incision.
Special tools are placed through the tiny incision to remove spinal canal accumulation. This lowers spinal nerve compression, alleviates pain, and enhances movement. LSS pain can be cured with MILD, a low-risk, FDA-approved surgery.
Low back spinal nerve compression is caused by constriction of the lower spinal canal.
This compression, like a “kink in a drinking straw,” can cause pain and mobility difficulties. Fortunately, LSS treatments are numerous. Lumbar epidural steroid injections early in the disease can reduce spinal canal inflammation and relieve symptoms. However, if epidurals fail or do not provide relief, further therapies to "physically" produce spinal canal space should be tried. MILD procedures for back pain, superion, and laminectomy are alternatives offered at a Pain Clinic in Dallas.
The safe, efficient, and minimally invasive MILD treatment for stenosis relieves lumbar spinal stenosis discomfort. A narrowed lumbar spine pinched nerves, causing LSS. Tissue or bone buildup might limit the area. MILD back surgery relieves spinal nerve compression and pain through the removal of extra material. If your lower back hurts or feels numb when you stand up, or if your legs or knees hurt, feel numb, or tingle when you walk. You might have lumbar spine stenosis. The MILD method is a safe and successful way to ease LSS pain. Premier Pain Centers board-certified pain specialists in Dallas can reliably diagnose and treat LSS discomfort with the outpatient MILD procedure.
Both surgeries can relieve lumbar stenosis symptoms, but they are different. First, MILD surgery for spinal stenosis is performed with local anesthetics or light sedation. The MILD technique does not remove spine bones; hence, it does not cause spine instability. It also speeds up recovery because patients can go back to normal activities within 24 hours. MILD procedure for spinal stenosis also keeps patients from having to have surgery on their spine or spinal cord later on, if they need to.
Rest, medication, physical therapy, or steroid injections can be used to treat lumbar spinal stenosis. Laminectomy, which removes the laminar bone over the spinal cord, is used to treat severe cases. This technique risks tissue trauma, scarring, and spinal instability due to a wide incision. The MILD method overcomes the limitations of laminectomy surgery and is excellent if conservative treatments are insufficient.
After minimally invasive lumbar decompression surgery, you will be monitored for two hours in the recovery room. After walking, you can go home. Activities should be increased gradually.
The MILD treatment decompresses the lumbar spine using advanced imaging and surgical equipment. The MILD procedure doctor in Dallas then makes tiny back incisions to expand spinal column space, lowering nerve pressure and spinal stenosis pain. The minimally invasive surgery does not harm surrounding tissue. Also, general anesthesia is rarely needed. Due to minimal incisions and few stitches, patients usually go home quickly after the surgery. A review of lumbar spinal stenosis patients indicated that MILD relieved pain better than epidural steroid injections. MILD may help people with lumbar spine stenosis (LSS) stand longer and move farther with less pain by using minimally invasive treatment.
Outpatient operation, usually under an hour.
Patients can normally go back to normal activities without any problems within 24 hours.
Needs no general anesthetic, implants, stitches, steroids, or painkillers.
Clinical trials at Dallas Pain Clinic show low complication risk and good efficacy.
If conservative treatments for lumbar spinal stenosis fail, your doctor may propose minimally invasive decompression.
These questions can help you decide if the mild procedure is best for you:
Have you been diagnosed with LSS?
Do your lower back, legs, or buttocks hurt when you stand or walk?
Do you feel better when you sit, bend, or lie down?
