mild® Procedure
How mild® procedure works, what it treats, and what to expect at Clearway.
What is mild® Procedure?
The mild® procedure (minimally invasive lumbar decompression) removes small pieces of thickened ligament causing lumbar spinal stenosis - through an incision smaller than a baby aspirin.
What it can help with
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
- Leg pain and heaviness when walking (neurogenic claudication)
What to expect
An outpatient procedure of about an hour with no general anesthesia and no implants. Most patients return to light activity within days.
Every treatment plan at Clearway is individualized. Your specialist will review your history, examination, and imaging before recommending any procedure.
