— Mild Procedure
Stand longer, walk further.
A minimally invasive lumbar decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis, helping patients stand and walk more comfortably.
— What it is
Mild Procedure
Lumbar spinal stenosis narrows the canal your spinal nerves travel through, so standing and walking bring on heavy, aching legs that force you to sit or lean forward. The mild procedure removes small pieces of the thickened ligament crowding that space through a tiny entry point — restoring room for the nerves without implants or general surgical exposure.
- Small portions of thickened ligament and bone narrowing the spinal canal are removed.
- Access is through an incision roughly the size of a baby aspirin — no implants, no stitches required.
- Restoring canal space reduces the leg heaviness and cramping that limits walking distance.
- Performed under imaging guidance with same-day discharge.
— Who it helps
This may be right for you if
Your legs feel heavy, achy, or crampy after standing or walking a short distance.
Leaning on a shopping cart or sitting down relieves the symptoms.
Imaging shows lumbar spinal stenosis with ligament thickening.
Injections give only temporary relief of your walking limitation.
You want a treatment that does not involve implants or open decompression surgery.
— What to expect
Your visit, step by step.
- 01
Evaluation
We confirm stenosis on imaging and check that the pattern of narrowing matches this procedure.
- 02
Preparation
You lie face down and the small entry site is cleaned and numbed.
- 03
Decompression
Under imaging guidance, the narrowing tissue is removed through the tiny entry point.
- 04
Recovery
No stitches are typically needed. You go home the same day and increase walking gradually as tolerated.
