The mild Procedure -- Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression
The mild procedure is a new, minimally invasive approach to reduce pain and improve mobility in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients. Contact us today to learn more about the mild procedure.
Thousands of patients have been treated by mild, which is enabled by an innovative new technology and can only be performed by specially trained physicians. The safety and efficacy of mild have been demonstrated in several clinical studies, which are published in leading scientific journals. If you suffer from the pain and physically limiting effects of LSS, there has never been a better time to get help.
Healthy Spine
Spine with Stenosis
Unlike some treatments that may only temporarily address symptoms, mild safely and effectively addresses the underlying cause of pain and immobility in patients with LSS.
Compared to more invasive surgical procedures that require general anesthesia, mild can be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia or light sedation, and patients experience fewer complications. Also, procedure and recovery times are generally reduced compared to more invasive procedures, after which patients may need rehabilitation or physical therapy.
What you can expect with mild:
Minimally invasive procedure through a tiny incision, requiring no stitches.
Local anesthetic and light sedation is typical.
Fast procedure time, usually performed in 1 hour.
Generally return home the same day.
Often return to work and resume light daily tasks within a few days.
No implants left behind.

Life after mild
The minimally invasive mild procedure has helped thousands of patients regain their active lifestyle – with less pain and improved mobility. In the words of one patient, “I had no stitches and so little discomfort. Now it’s hard for me to imagine what I can’t do!”
After the mild procedure, most patients are able to return home the same day and are generally able to resume light tasks and everyday activities in just a few days. Your doctor will provide complete instructions on what to do immediately following the procedure and schedule any necessary follow-up visits.
Rehabilitation following mild is also usually faster and easier than that of other surgical procedures. Additionally, mild patients are typically able to undergo future spinal surgeries if necessary, which is often not possible after more invasive procedures.
