Treatments and Procedures Offered

Dr. Jag provides a variety of services, specializing in:

The mild® Procedure: mild® is an early treatment option to consider when conservative therapies (e.g., physical therapy, pain medication, chiropractic care) are not providing adequate relief. The mild® Procedure addresses a major root cause of spinal stenosis by removing excess ligament tissue to restore space in the spinal canal. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and can be performed through a single, tiny incision smaller than the size of a baby aspirin (5.1 mm).
VIA Disc NP: The VIA Disc NP procedure is a simple treatment for people who have lost some cushioning in the discs in their lower back. Using X-ray guidance, the doctor carefully places a needle into the center of the damaged disc and injects a special gel into it, helping to rehydrate the disc and restore its ability to cushion and support the spine.
The Minuteman®: The Minuteman® is a device used to stabilize and fuse parts of the spine in the upper and lower back. It attaches to the back of the spine, between two bones, using small screws. Bone graft material is placed inside the device to help the bones grow together, creating a strong, stable connection.

Each treatment is designed to manage the root causes of your symptoms, helping patients recover faster and live healthier lives.
