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.
