Procedures

Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures

At VERITAS, we offer advanced, minimally invasive procedures designed to precisely target chronic pain while reducing recovery time and surgical risks.

Neuromodulation Procedures

  • Peripheral Nerve Stimulator Trial & Implant
    A small device delivers gentle electrical pulses to specific nerves, helping to block pain signals. The trial allows you to test the benefits before permanent placement.

  • Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial & Implant
    This treatment interrupts pain signals traveling to the brain by sending mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord. A trial is performed first to ensure effectiveness before permanent implantation.

  • Intrathecal Pump Trial & Implant
    Delivers pain-relieving medication directly to the spinal fluid in small, controlled doses—offering powerful relief with fewer side effects than oral medications.

Radiofrequency & Pulsed Ablation Procedures

  • Radiofrequency Ablation / Denervation
    Uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt pain-causing nerves, especially in the spine and joints. Often used for long-term back or neck pain relief.

  • Occipital Nerve Ablation
    Targets nerves at the base of the skull to relieve chronic migraines or occipital neuralgia.

  • Suprascapular Nerve Pulsed Ablation
    Reduces shoulder pain by applying controlled electrical pulses to the suprascapular nerve—often used for arthritis or rotator cuff injuries.

  • Basivertebral Nerve Ablation
    Treats vertebrogenic low back pain by targeting nerves within the vertebral body that send pain signals to the brain.

  • Cluneal Nerve Ablation
    Provides relief from lower back and buttock pain by treating inflamed cluneal nerves.

  • Femoral / Obturator Nerve Ablation
    Focuses on relieving hip and thigh pain, especially in patients with osteoarthritis or post-surgical pain.

  • Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Pulsed Ablation
    Treats meralgia paresthetica (burning or numbness in the outer thigh) by calming the affected nerve.

  • Genicular Nerve Ablation
    A common non-surgical treatment for knee pain due to osteoarthritis. It targets the sensory nerves in the knee joint.

  • Dorsal Root Ganglion Pulsed Ablation
    Treats focal, neuropathic pain by modulating nerve signals at the dorsal root ganglion level.

  • Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Medial Branch Ablation
    Used to manage chronic spinal pain by disrupting nerve branches responsible for transmitting pain from the facet joints.

  • Sacral Lateral Branch Ablation
    Provides targeted relief for sacroiliac joint pain by ablating the lateral nerves in the sacral region.

Spinal & Structural Interventions

  • Kyphoplasty
    A minimally invasive treatment for spinal compression fractures. It stabilizes the bone and restores height to relieve back pain and improve mobility.
