Spinal Stenosis

In addressing the discomfort associated with spinal stenosis, Dr. Ramirez may initially suggest options such as anti-inflammatory medications, anesthetic nerve blocks, or physical therapy.

​

For individuals experiencing chronic pain attributed to lumbar stenosis, Dr. Ramizrez may recommend the innovative Superion procedure developed by Vertiflex. This minimally invasive technique utilizes an implant to alleviate pressure on the spinal nerves. These decompression implants come in various sizes to cater to your specific needs and minimize potential complications.

Dr. Ramirez skillfully inserts the implant into the narrowed spinal region through a small tube during an outpatient procedure. The Superion implant effectively treats lumbar spinal stenosis while preserving surrounding tissue integrity and minimizing the risk of excessive blood loss.
