MILD® is a safe, outpatient treatment that relieves pressure in the spinal canal by removing excess ligament tissue. Once space is restored, compression on the nerves decreases, which helps reduce pain and increase mobility.
The procedure requires no general anesthesia or overnight hospital stay, making it an alternative treatment option for patients who fail conservative therapies and are unable or unwilling to undergo implants or open spine surgery. MILD® is covered by Medicare nationwide.
