How it works

Superion is placed between two vertebrae through a small incision. It limits the backward bending (extension) that squeezes the nerves, while still allowing you to bend forward — the position that naturally relieves stenosis pain.

Benefits

  • Relieves pressure on the nerves
  • Less pain while walking or standing
  • Outpatient procedure with a faster recovery than major spine surgery
  • Does not destabilize the spine
