The Mild procedure is a minimally invasive lumbar decompression procedure that can be done in an out-patient setting. 

Dr. Thomas Nasser introduces an exciting new therapy into the Antelope Valley. The mild® Procedure is a short, outpatient treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) that restores space in the spinal canal to help improve back and leg pain. 

Mild® is an early treatment option to consider when conservative therapies (e.g., physical therapy, pain medication, chiropractic) are not providing adequate relief.  Using specialized tools and imaging, mild® addresses a major root cause of LSS by removing thickened ligament through an incision smaller than the size of baby aspirin, leaving no implants behind, only a Band-Aid.

The minimally invasive mild® Procedure has a safety profile similar to epidural steroid injections but with lasting results, and patients typically return to normal activity within 24 hours with no restrictions.* mild® is covered nationwide by Medicare (all ages, all plan types, including Medicare Advantage) the VA, U.S. Military & IHS. Commercial coverage varies.

Dr. Thomas Nasser is a leading Pain Management and Doctor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.  Dr. Nasser is also the Medical Director at Palmdale Regional Medical Center Acute Rehabilitation Institute, Embassy Surgery Center, and Antelope Valley Care Center.  Dr. Thomas Nasser has been treating lumbar spinal stenosis (LLS) in the Antelope Valley since 2007.  LLS is a condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal nerves in the lower back.

Dr. Nasser treats “the whole person” not just the symptoms. By evaluating the impact of a condition on the person as a whole (medically, socially, emotionally and vocationally), he helps his patients understand and take control of their health.

“The most important consideration is what the patient expresses/tells us — that’s essentially what we go off of,” Dr. Nasser says. But Dr. Nasser also takes into account what additional materials that shed light, such as labs, reports, electrodiagnostics, imaging studies, etc. 

 “We take care of people, not pictures.” ~ Dr. Nasser

One procedure that has high clinical success in helping patients suffering from LLS is the Mild Procedure.
