What is the Minuteman Procedure?

The Minuteman Procedure is a specialized technique aimed at alleviating lower back pain through the precise delivery of treatment to the affected area. This procedure is particularly effective for patients suffering from conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis.

  • Purpose: The primary goal is to reduce inflammation and pain while promoting healing within the spine.

How Does the Procedure Work?

  1. Evaluation: Before the procedure, patients undergo a thorough assessment to determine their specific needs and to ensure this method is appropriate.
  2. Fluoroscopic Guidance: The procedure is performed under fluoroscopic (live X-ray) guidance to ensure accuracy in targeting the treatment area.
  3. Injection of Medications: A combination of local anesthetic and steroid medications is injected into the targeted area to provide immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation.
