Symptoms
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.
Most cases of spinal canal stenosis occur in the lumbar vertebrae.
Some cases of lumbar spinal stenosis lead to difficulty in walking and are mistakenly diagnosed as knee joint arthritis, leading to the doctor's decision to perform knee joint replacement surgery. After the surgery, both the patient and the doctor realize that the problem has not been solved and that the patient still suffers from difficulty walking due to overlooking the issue of lumbar spinal canal stenosis.
How is lumbar spinal canal stenosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis is made by listening to the patient's complaint, conducting a physical examination, and reviewing MRI and X-ray images of the lumbar spine.
How MILD is done?
MILD technique helps relieve pressure on the spinal cord. In contrary to Claudicare which is used for foraminal spinal canal stenosis, MILD is used in cases of central spinal canal stenosis. The procedure is done through a tiny incision in the back.
Advantages:
- Minimally Invasive.
- Totally safe.
- The patient is discharged at the same day.
- The patient can resume his daily activity within 24 hours.

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.
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.
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.
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.
