pressure on nerves, the MILD\u00ae Procedure offers lasting relief without the need for traditional surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Charles Nivens is the only certified MILD\u00ae Procedure specialist in the Lowcountry, providing this advanced, minimally invasive treatment to help patients stand longer, walk farther, and live with less pain.<\/p>\n<p>The MILD\u00ae Procedure removes small pieces of bone and excess ligament tissue that cause pressure in the lower spine. This is done through a tiny incision, about the size of a baby aspirin, using specialized imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety. Because no general anesthesia, implants, or stitches are required, most patients return home the same day.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of MILD\u00ae is to restore space in the spinal canal, allowing nerves to move freely again, relieving pain, numbness, and heaviness in the legs. Most patients notice gradual improvement in mobility and comfort over the following weeks, with little to no downtime.<\/p>\n<p>Every MILD\u00ae treatment is part of a personalized care plan. Dr. Nivens carefully evaluates each patient\u2019s spine condition and overall health to ensure the MILD\u00ae Procedure is the right fit. The result is real relief, faster recovery, and a return to the activities you love without major surgery.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Information:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/the-mild-procedure\/\">Understanding The Mild\u00ae Procedure<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='flex_column_table av-ms7y2f1e-4346006625c59ed75e0b16123aafda5c sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ms7y2f1e-4346006625c59ed75e0b16123aafda5c\">\n.flex_column.av-ms7y2f1e-4346006625c59ed75e0b16123aafda5c{\nwidth:48%;\nmargin-left:0;\n}\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-ms7y2f1e-4346006625c59ed75e0b16123aafda5c .av-flex-placeholder{\nwidth:4%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-ms7y2f1e-4346006625c59ed75e0b16123aafda5c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ms7y4vhf-b82eeb9ac5d25174d470c43e75167d75\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ms7y4vhf-b82eeb9ac5d25174d470c43e75167d75 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ms7y4vhf-b82eeb9ac5d25174d470c43e75167d75 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ms7y4vhf-b82eeb9ac5d25174d470c43e75167d75 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-223 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-223 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/MILD_1-788x1024-1.webp\" alt='' title='MILD_1-788x1024'  height=\"1024\" width=\"788\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/MILD_1-788x1024-1.webp 788w, https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/MILD_1-788x1024-1-231x300.webp 231w, https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/MILD_1-788x1024-1-768x998.webp 768w, https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/MILD_1-788x1024-1-543x705.webp 543w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4c7sg-7bb84453506bfe2c7f380add62e5ec06\">\n.flex_column.av-4c7sg-7bb84453506bfe2c7f380add62e5ec06{\nwidth:48%;\nmargin-left:0;\n}\n#top .flex_column_table.av-equal-height-column-flextable.av-4c7sg-7bb84453506bfe2c7f380add62e5ec06 .av-flex-placeholder{\nwidth:4%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-4c7sg-7bb84453506bfe2c7f380add62e5ec06 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ms7y56bg-0d055686a1f62e5a63743640ae969b28\">\n.avia-image-container.av-ms7y56bg-0d055686a1f62e5a63743640ae969b28 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-ms7y56bg-0d055686a1f62e5a63743640ae969b28 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-ms7y56bg-0d055686a1f62e5a63743640ae969b28 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-222 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-222 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-24-at-4.25.57-PM-781x1024-1.webp\" alt='' title='Screenshot-2026-07-24-at-4.25.57-PM-781x1024'  height=\"1024\" width=\"781\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-24-at-4.25.57-PM-781x1024-1.webp 781w, https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-24-at-4.25.57-PM-781x1024-1-229x300.webp 229w, https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-24-at-4.25.57-PM-781x1024-1-768x1007.webp 768w, https:\/\/ecommerceseo.us\/nivensspine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-24-at-4.25.57-PM-781x1024-1-538x705.webp 538w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
