Kyphoplasty / Vertebroplasty
These procedures are used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. A special bone cement is injected into the collapsed vertebra to:
- Stabilize the fracture
- Restore spinal alignment
- Reduce pain and improve mobility
Kyphoplasty involves creating space in the bone with a balloon before injecting the cement, while vertebroplasty skips the balloon step.
Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression (MILD® Procedure)
This outpatient procedure treats lumbar spinal stenosis by removing excess ligament tissue that’s pressing on the spinal nerves. Benefits of the MILD procedure include:
- Relief from leg and lower back pain
- Improved walking ability
- No general anesthesia or stitches required
It's an excellent option for patients with spinal stenosis who aren’t candidates for major back surgery.
Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (Intracept ® Procedure)
This innovative technique targets a specific nerve inside the vertebrae called the basivertebral nerve, which can cause chronic low back pain—especially from degenerative changes (Modic type 1 or 2) seen on MRI. It’s used to treat:
- Persistent axial low back pain
- Pain linked to vertebral endplate inflammation
- Patients who haven’t found relief with physical therapy, medications, or injections
The Intracept Procedure is implant-free, minimally invasive, and backed by strong clinical evidence.
