“The entire experience from scheduling an appointment to walking out the door was fantastic. You really get the sense that this is a world class practice. They made me feel welcomed and did not rush through the visit. He, and his PA, answered all my questions and ensured I understood the prognosis and all possible directions of care moving forward. I’m very happy we came across SPS.”

More About the mild® Procedure
Proven Relief of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS)
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the lower spinal canal, resulting in the compression of spinal nerves in the lower back. Analogous to a “kink in a drinking straw,” this compression can lead to pain and hinder mobility. LSS predominantly affects individuals over 50 years old, with over two million patients diagnosed and treated annually3 in the United States. The risk of developing LSS escalates with age due to the natural degeneration of the spine, causing factors like thickened ligaments, bone overgrowth (osteoarthritis), and disc bulges. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive medical history review, symptom assessment, physical examinations to evaluate mobility, and imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to confirm the presence of LSS.
How Patients Describe Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS)
PAIN WHEN STANDING
Pain or numbness in the lower back when standing upright
PAIN WHEN WALKING
Pain, numbness, heaviness or tingling in upper legs or buttocks when walking
PAIN WHEN SLEEPING
Pain when lying down that may be relieved by curling into the fetal position
RELIEF WHEN SITTING OR BENDING FORWARD
Temporary relief when bending forward while sitting or standing as pressure on the spinal cord is released and space in the spinal canal is “opened”
About the 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.
