The mild Procedure for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Back Surgery Made Easy
The Mild procedure is safe, outpatient back surgery for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with 79% having a 70% reduction in pain and increased walking.
The Mild® procedure is a safe outpatient back surgery procedure that can help patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) stand longer and walk farther with less pain. It is a short, outpatient procedure, performed through a very small 5.1 mm incision (about the size of a baby aspirin) that requires no general anesthesia, no implants, and no stitches. Study data show that 79% of patients experience a 70% significant reduction in pain and a significant increase in mobility. In addition, the mild® procedure has been proven to have a very low risk of major complications.

Why it Occurs
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is primarily a degenerative, age-related narrowing of the lower spinal canal that causes pressure on the nerves, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Symptoms typically include pain, tingling, or numbness in the lower back, legs, or buttocks when standing or walking. Discomfort can be relieved by sitting or bending forward. LSS is a common condition, with more than 1.2 million Americans diagnosed and treated each year. Onset generally occurs after age 50.
