Superion is for patients who have spinal stenosis— which is narrowing of the spine that causes pain in the back that radiates into the legs.
Superion is an intervertebral spacer that goes between the spinous process and the vertebral bodies to mechanically widen the spine and offer the nerves more space.
This is a minimally-invasive procedure requiring anesthesia in an outpatient surgery center. Patients go home the same day and the procedure takes no more than 15-30 minutes.
