If you want to know more about MILD® spine treatment in NJ or speak with professionals about your treatment options, you can trust Spine Institute of North America.
MILD® is an acronym for Minimally invasive lumbar decompression. It’s a relatively new method of treating patients who have moderate to severe Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), which is a condition where the spinal canal becomes narrow, causing pain in the lower part of the back.
With this procedure, we can help relieve your back pain so that you can quickly return to your normal, daily activities. This procedure requires a very small incision. Instead of traditional open surgery, we use MILD® spine surgery in central New Jersey for quick pain relief and fast recovery.
Treating LSS through open surgery can lead to instability in the spine. But our minimally invasive lumbar decompression used in NJ focuses on removing overgrown ligament and bone at the lower part of the spine. Patients enjoy relief from pain and improved mobility. This approach also prevents spinal instability and avoids the use of invasive fusion surgery.
MILD® spine surgery in NJ is suitable for patients who have moderate or severe lumbar spinal stenosis. These patients find it difficult to stand for more than a few minutes, and they can’t walk for long distances without having severe pain. When such patients don’t want to go through open spine surgery or use conservative treatment, we offer the MILD® procedure instead.
Patients who undergo the MILD® spine treatment should experience fast recovery. Depending on the severity of the spinal stenosis, patients can go back to work within a few days to resume lighter and less physically demanding tasks.
MILD® is an outpatient procedure, and there are no implants left inside the body. It requires no stitches or general anesthesia, so recovery occurs faster than with open surgery.
