Back pain is a condition that a large number of people suffer from. The young suffer from back pain too these days due to the lifestyles they lead. And while people try different measures including exercise as well as surgical procedures to deal with it, today we have found this small device that could make a huge difference.

This experimental procedure involves putting a bullet-shaped implant into your lower spine to help support it, thus alleviating the pressure on your nerves. The procedure only needs a small hole made into the side of the body following which the patient can go home the same day. Minimal recovery time and the fact that it isn't very invasive makes this experimental procedure a great one.

This procedure is meant to treat back issues like spinal stenosis which causes narrowing of the spinal canal due to a collapsed vertebrae causing extreme pain in the lower back and legs.
