Posterior SI Joint Stabilization with the PainTeq LinQ Procedure

A patient with persistent left SI joint pain found only temporary relief from physical therapy, medication, and repeated SI joint steroid injections (80% pain relief for several hours to one day). After radiofrequency ablation failed to provide lasting relief, we opted for the LinQ® allograft procedure to stabilize the SI joint.

✨ Results:
At the 2-week follow-up, the patient reported 100% pain relief in their SI joint pain—a life-changing outcome!

Why Choose the LinQ® Procedure?

• ✅ Short outpatient procedure

• ✅ No metal implants

• ✅ Faster recovery than traditional SI joint fusion

• ✅ Posterior approach avoids nerves and large blood vessels

Say goodbye to chronic SI joint pain with innovative and effective solutions! 💪 https://vimeo.com/734787432

✨ Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD) ✨
A breakthrough in treating lumbar stenosis and neurogenic claudication!

💡 Unlike traditional laminectomy surgery, MILD is:
✔️ Low-risk
✔️ Minimal recovery time
✔️ Performed through a tiny incision, often with little to no sedation

🔎 Case Highlight:
This patient suffered from lumbar stenosis, causing pain radiating from their low back to their right leg, worsening with standing and walking. Despite trying:
❌ Oral meds
❌ Physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, TENS
❌ Epidural steroid injections..and being evaluated by a neurosurgeon (who ruled out surgery), nothing provided relief.

👉 Why MILD? MRI revealed ligamentum flavum thickening at L3-4 interlaminar space, making this patient an ideal candidate.

🌟 Results: At their 2-week follow-up, they reported 70-80% pain relief! 🎉

**Years of chronic back and leg pain, minimal relief from therapies, and even surgery couldn’t help this patient. Finally, a breakthrough: after trying a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial using a closed-loop system, they experienced *over 70% pain relief* 🙌.**

Closed-loop systems have long been used in pacemakers, but it wasn’t until recently that this advanced technology was applied to SCS. Saluda Medical was the pioneer in this field, publishing a groundbreaking study in *The Lancet Neurology* showing its superior results compared to traditional tonic SCS.
