Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) for lumbar spinal canal stenosis

MILD technique is a FDA approved procedure for treatment of spinal canal stenosis. What is spinal canal stenosis? Spinal canal stenosis may occur due to age-related factors that lead to thickening of the internal ligaments lining the spinal canal, or due to a herniated disc or adhesions following herniated disc surgery. This may result in narrowing of the nerve root exits and pressure on them, causing numbness, tingling, pain, and discomfort along the area supplied by the nerve.

Can a herniated disc be treated without surgery?

Yes, in many cases a herniated disc can be treated without surgery using minimally invasive techniques such as Disc-FX endoscopy, radiofrequency therapy, or image-guided injections. The appropriate treatment is determined after proper medical evaluation.

What is radiofrequency treatment and how does it work?

Radiofrequency is a modern pain management technique that uses heat energy to interrupt pain signals coming from the affected nerves, helping to significantly reduce chronic pain without the need for surgery.

What is Disc-FX technology?

Disc-FX is a minimally invasive endoscopic technique used to treat herniated discs without open surgery. It precisely removes the damaged disc tissue causing pain, resulting in faster recovery and fewer complications.

How long is the recovery period after non-surgical treatments?

Recovery time is usually much shorter compared to traditional surgery. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within a short period, depending on the procedure performed.

Are nerve root injections effective for pain relief?

Yes, nerve root injections are highly effective in reducing pain caused by herniated discs or nerve inflammation. They provide fast and targeted pain relief.

Are the results of non-surgical treatments permanent?

Results vary depending on the patient’s condition and disease severity. In many cases, non-surgical treatments provide long-term relief when combined with proper medical follow-up and lifestyle adjustments.
