Percutaneous Lumbar Decompression

Percutaneous Lumbar Decompression – Minimally Invasive Relief

Percutaneous Lumbar Decompression (PLD) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve nerve compression and spinal stenosis in the lower back. This technique helps patients experiencing chronic back pain, leg pain, and restricted movement due to a narrowed spinal canal.

Who Needs PLD?

PLD is recommended for individuals suffering from:
Lumbar spinal stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal causing nerve pressure.
Persistent lower back pain that doesn’t improve with medication or therapy.
Leg pain, numbness, or weakness due to compressed spinal nerves.
Difficulty standing or walking for long periods because of back stiffness.

How Does It Work?

• A tiny incision is made in the lower back.
• A specialized needle is inserted, guided by real-time imaging.
• Small portions of thickened ligament and tissue are removed to relieve nerve compression.
• No major cuts or stitches, ensuring minimal tissue damage.

Benefits of PLD

Minimally invasive – No large incisions or muscle disruption.
Quick Recovery – Most patients resume activities within days.
Effective Pain Relief – Reduces pressure on nerves, improving mobility.
Lower Risk of Complications – Less bleeding, scarring, and infection risk.

A Smart Alternative to Open Surgery

PLD provides lasting relief with minimal downtime, making it an excellent choice for patients seeking safe, effective, and non-disruptive spinal treatment. If you’re struggling with lumbar stenosis or back pain, this procedure can help restore your comfort and mobility!
