Coflex Interspinous Stabilization

The Coflex interspinous stabilization is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at addressing spine issues. The Coflex stabilizer is an FDA-approved device constituted by a titanium implant carefully placed in the middle of two contiguous spinous processes located in the lower back area. 

It is specifically approved for use in patients who have not responded to conservative treatments and suffer from lumbar spinal chronic conditions.

Our pain management experts in Somerset, Monroe, Ewing, Englewood Cliffs, Jersey City, Hoboken, Bloomfield, Freehold, Clark, and Elizabeth, New Jersey; and Bayridge, Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Hempstead, New York, are committed to helping patients find relief and regain control of their everyday lives.

How Does the Coflex™  Interspinous Stabilizator Work?

While providing spinal stability without the invasiveness and loss of mobility associated with spinal fusion, the Coflex Interspinous Stabilization surgery decompresses the build up tension in the spine, resulting in the relief of the pain in the area. 

This minimally invasive, U-shaped-titanium implant, is strong enough to give your spine the support it needs, as well as maintaining its natural height and motion, which allows the patient to have a quicker recovery after the installation of the device. 

Conditions Treated with Coflex™ Interspinous Stabilization

The Coflex Interspinous Stabilizator effectively treats chronic lumbar-related conditions such as

  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS): Compression of the nerves caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal. 
  • Chronic Lower Back Pain: Consistent, never-fading sharp pain in the lumbar area. 
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: As a natural part of aging, the discs between the vertebrae and spine start to deteriorate, resulting in discomfort or chronic pain.
