Diagnosis first
Each procedure treats one specific pain source. We confirm it with an exam, imaging review and, when useful, diagnostic blocks before recommending anything. Rehabilitation continues before and after.
The procedures
Procedures are image-guided using X-ray guidance, with ultrasound guidance where appropriate for the target.
- Endoscopic discectomy, for a herniated disc pressing on a nerve
- MILD, for lumbar spinal stenosis
- Basivertebral nerve ablation (Intracept), for vertebrogenic low back pain
- Kyphoplasty, for painful vertebral compression fractures
- Minimally invasive SI joint fusion
- Radiofrequency ablation of the medial branch and genicular nerves, and endoscopic medial branch transection
- Spinal cord stimulator trials
- Peripheral nerve stimulation
- Intradiscal injections
- Genicular nerve ablation, for knee arthritis pain
Repair first, surgery last
These procedures sit between rehabilitation and open surgery. When open surgery is the better choice, we refer you to a trusted spine surgeon.
