Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery to Offer Basivertebral Nerve (BVN) Ablation for Chronic Low Back Pain

Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery is expanding its advanced spine care services with the addition of basivertebral nerve (BVN) ablation, an innovative, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat chronic vertebrogenic low back pain at its source.

The procedure is now offered by Dr. David Impastato, Dr. Deven Karvelas, and Dr. Nicolas Karvelas, providing patients in Southwest Washington and the Portland metro area with another evidence-based treatment option for persistent low back pain.

Unlike many treatments that focus on managing symptoms, BVN ablation targets the basivertebral nerve, which transmits pain signals from damaged vertebral endplates. By interrupting these pain signals, the procedure can provide long-lasting relief for appropriately selected patients whose pain has not improved with physical therapy, medications, injections, or other conservative treatments.

"Adding BVN ablation allows us to offer another advanced option for patients who have been living with chronic low back pain and may not have found relief through traditional therapies," said Dr. David Impastato. "Our goal is always to provide the most effective treatment based on each patient's individual condition while helping them return to the activities they enjoy."

The addition of BVN ablation reflects Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery's ongoing commitment to bringing the latest advancements in orthopedic and spine care to the communities it serves. By actively participating in national education and specialized training, the practice continues to provide patients with access to innovative procedures close to home.

Patients experiencing chronic low back pain who have not responded to conservative treatment may be candidates for BVN ablation. A comprehensive evaluation with one of Rebound's spine specialists can help determine whether the procedure is an appropriate treatment option.
