Indirect decompression is a device utilized to relieve pain by acting as an extension blocker in the spine. It relieves pressure on the affected nerves in the same way a patient feels relief in a seated or flexed position. Those patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) can provide great relief with a simple outpatient procedure. This new and minimally invasive procedure has a rapid recovery time and involves no destabilization of the spine.
