Living with chronic lower back pain can make even the simplest daily activities feel overwhelming. If you’re struggling with pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), you’re not alone—and there may be a minimally invasive treatment option that can help. At [Synergy Spine and Pain Center], we’re proud to offer the Mild Procedure, a safe and effective alternative to more invasive surgeries.
What Is the Mild Procedure?
The Mild Procedure (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) is an FDA-cleared, outpatient treatment designed specifically for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. LSS is a common condition in older adults, where the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on the nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling in the lower back and legs.
Mild works by removing small pieces of bone and thickened ligament through a tiny incision (about the size of a baby aspirin), relieving pressure on the spinal nerves without the need for general anesthesia, stitches, or implants.
Mild is ideal for patients who:
- Have been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis
- Experience back and leg pain when standing or walking
- Have not found relief through physical therapy, medications, or epidural injections
- Want to avoid traditional back surgery
If you’ve been told that surgery is your next step, the Mild® Procedure may be a less aggressive alternative that delivers meaningful relief.
Minimally Invasive: No cutting of muscles or bones; performed through a small incision
Outpatient Procedure: Most patients return home the same day
Quick Recovery: Many resume light activities within days
Proven Results: Clinical studies show significant and lasting pain relief
Preserves Future Options: Mild® does not limit your ability to pursue other treatments if needed
What to ExpectThe entire Mild Procedure typically takes less than an hour and is done under local anesthesia with light sedation. Since it’s minimally invasive, the risks are low and recovery is faster compared to traditional surgery. Many patients report reduced pain and increased mobility within weeks.
