More Advanced, Less Invasive
MILD Procedure
mild® is a short, outpatient treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) that restores space in the spinal canal to help improve back and leg pain. Using specialized tools and imaging, mild® addresses a major root cause of LSS by removing thickened ligament through an incision smaller than the size of baby aspirin, leaving no implants behind, only a Band-Aid. Patients typically return to normal activity within 24 hours with no restrictions.
Intracept Procedure
This minimally invasive procedure reduces chronic lower back pain by using radiofrequency to target the basivertebral nerve (BVN). Using radiofrequency ablation blocks the nerves from sending signals to the brain, therefore reducing lower back pain. Patients should avoid activities that strain the spine for 6 weeks.
ReActive8
ReActive8 is a neurostimulation system that treats chronic pain by sending gentle electrical impulses to nerves in the lumbar multifidus muscle, which supports and stabilizes the spine. This device weakens the muscle, sometimes known as muscular atrophy, to reduce lower back pain. Normal movement typically returns in 24 hours.
StimWave
Sacroiliac Joint Fusion
SI fusion is a minimally-invasive procedure that fuses the sacroiliac joints together using implants to stabilize the sacrum, the bone located where the spine and pelvis connect. Fusing the sacroiliac joints relieves pain caused by sacroiliitis. There are several methods available for this surgery, but all are minimally invasive.
