Superion
Superion is a minimally invasive implant designed to relieve pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition where the spaces in the spine narrow and compress nearby nerves. This tiny device is placed between the vertebrae, gently spacing them apart to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves.
Unlike traditional surgery, the Superion implant requires small incisions and does not involve removing any bone or tissue, resulting in less downtime and faster recovery. Patients typically experience significant relief from symptoms like lower back pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs.
At Southern Pain and Spine, our team will carefully evaluate your condition and determine if Superion is the right solution for you. With this innovative treatment, you can regain mobility and improve your quality of life.
MILD
MILD (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) is an advanced procedure designed to treat lumbar spinal stenosis without the need for open surgery. This innovative technique removes small amounts of excess ligament tissue through a tiny incision, relieving pressure on the spinal canal and surrounding nerves.
MILD is performed under local anesthesia, reducing risks associated with general anesthesia and minimizing recovery time. Many patients report significant improvements in back and leg pain, as well as enhanced mobility.
At Southern Pain and Spine, we customize every treatment plan, ensuring MILD is suited to your unique needs and health goals. By choosing MILD, you can achieve sustainable pain relief, avoid major surgery, and return to your daily activities faster and with greater comfort.
Spinal Cord Stimulator
A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) is an advanced implant designed to manage chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments. The device involves placing a small electrode near the spinal cord and a compact generator under the skin.
SCS works by sending mild electrical impulses to the spinal nerves, interfering with pain signals before they reach the brain. This can result in significant relief for conditions like spinal stenosis, neuropathic pain, or failed back surgery syndrome. Customizable settings allow patients to adjust the level of stimulation for optimal comfort.
At Southern Pain and Spine, our team ensures a tailored approach, guiding you through the process from evaluation to recovery. With SCS, you can regain control and enjoy a better quality of life.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is an innovative treatment that targets chronic pain by calming the specific nerves that transmit pain signals. The procedure involves placing a tiny electrode near the affected peripheral nerve. This electrode delivers gentle electrical impulses, altering the painful nerve activity and providing lasting relief.
PNS is particularly effective for conditions like neuropathic pain, pain after surgery, or localized nerve pain. The implant is minimally invasive, performed on an outpatient basis, and provides an adjustable level of therapy tailored to your comfort.
At Southern Pain and Spine, we prioritize personalized care, working closely with you to ensure that PNS addresses your specific pain concerns. With PNS, you can experience improved mobility, reduced discomfort, and renewed confidence in daily life.
