Do You Have Lumbar Spinal Stenosis?

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves in the lower back. People with LSS typically experience a variety of symptoms that affect daily life, including pain and limited mobility.

About LSS
Aging and natural wear and tear on the spine can cause conditions that put pressure on the spinal nerves:

  • Bone overgrowth
  • Disc bulge
  • Thickened ligament

mild® Removes the Problem & Leaves Nothing Behind

Up to 85% of spinal canal narrowing is caused by thickened ligament. mild® addresses this major root cause of LSS by removing excess ligament tissue using specialized tools and imaging and leaves no implants behind.1

A mild ® Procedure with Proven Results

Every year, thousands of LSS patients are able to stand longer and walk farther with less pain thanks to mild®. With an 85% patient satisfaction rate,2 studies show that mild® continues to improve patient functionality over time.1

Your Next Step May Be mild®

The following chart compares several options that are typically recommended for LSS patients when conservative therapies (e.g., physical therapy, pain medication, chiropractic) are not providing adequate relief.
