Stop Suffering from Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) — Without Surgery

A 1-hour procedure gets you back to living life without pain in 24 hours.

Every year, over two million patients are diagnosed with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS). If you or someone you know is suffering from this painful condition, you know just how hard it can be to live with. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis can be debilitating, making simple household chores or working painful, or even impossible.

Fortunately, there is a new treatment option that can greatly reduce the pain and discomfort caused by LSS that does not require back surgery. It does not require a spine fusion, implants, general anesthetics, pain medications, or opioids. Back surgery can be complex and risky, and positive results aren’t guaranteed.

What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis?

With LSS, the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord nerves in the lower back.  You can best visualize this as kink in a drinking straw. Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by wear-and-tear changes in the spine related to osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. Depending on the severity, some may have little to no symptoms, while others can experience severe pain, numbness, weakness and other negative effects.

Common Symptoms

The most common symptoms associated with LSS are:

• Pain or numbness in lower back when standing.
• Pain, pressure, numbness, weakness, or tingling in legs, buttocks, or feet when walking.
• Relief when sitting, leaning forward, or curling up when sleeping.

Outdated and Risky Treatment Options

Historically, major back surgery was the only way to treat spinal stenosis. The surgery can take hours and requires anesthesia, which can be risky. During these procedures, surgeons create additional space for the spinal cord or nerves. In doing so, they have to cut through important structures, like muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even bone.  As a result, these operations can compromise the stability of the spine, causing other segments to develop problems later while also limiting future treatment options due to scarring. Not to mention, the surgeries often need weeks of rehabilitation to fully recover.

Wellward Can Treat Your LSS

At Wellward, we can offer a new and innovative procedure to treat the root cause of LSS. This treatment option is a short outpatient procedure that is as safe as epidural steroid injections, but offers lasting results. The procedure is covered by Medicare nationwide and does not require general anesthesia, implants, stitches, steroids, or opioids.

The entire procedure is done through a very small incision in the back, which is smaller than a baby aspirin pill. Wellward’s team of physicians uses special imaging machines and tools to trim the thickened ligaments and open up the spinal canal without affecting the bone or muscles needed for spine stability.

The procedure takes less than an hour and patients return home the same day, often with no pain or very little pain. Patients can return to normal daily activities within 24 hours with few to no restrictions. Our team can provide at-home physical therapy routines to help strengthen and improve your spine so you will gain even greater results over time.
