We often see patients who suffer from lumbar spinal stenosis and the resulting -and often debilitating – discomfort. Lumbar spinal stenosis also causes weakness and numbness in the legs and buttocks region. These symptoms occur when spinal discs break down and no longer absorb the movement of the spine. Since there is no absorption, the nerves can become compressed when you stand and walk. It provides patients with a clinically proven, minimally invasive solution that is designed to deliver long-term relief from the leg and back pain associated with LSS.
In addition to other treatment options, Robert Wilson, II, MD, offers The Superion® Indirect Decompression System by Vertiflex for suitable candidates. An FDA-approved outpatient treatment with proven long-term pain relief results, the Superion is a titanium implant that fits between vertebrae of the lumbar spine. It was developed to help prevent nerve entrapment and reduce tissue damage and blood loss. This device is inserted into the affected area through a dime-sized tube and helps support a greater, pain-free spinal movement.
This procedure is redefining the treatment of LSS for patients. Take a moment to hear from some of our other patients who have benefitted from the procedure:
