When you’re living with chronic low back pain, delays in care can be more than frustrating—they can set back your progress and quality of life. For patients with vertebrogenic pain, timely access to effective treatment is essential. Unfortunately, many individuals are now facing unexpected cancellations or postponements of their procedures, leaving them uncertain about their next steps.

At First State Orthopaedics, patient care remains the top priority. That’s why Dr. Chiu is proud to be the only physician in Delaware currently offering basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA). This minimally invasive, FDA-cleared procedure targets the basivertebral nerve—the source of pain within the vertebrae—helping patients achieve long-term relief without the need for major surgery.

Using the advanced Stryker BVNA system, the team at First State Orthopaedics is able to provide immediate access to care, without the delays many patients are encountering elsewhere. This means you can move forward with your treatment plan when it matters most.

Patients who may benefit include those who have recently had a BVNA procedure canceled, were told their treatment is temporarily unavailable, or simply want faster access to a proven solution. It’s also an excellent option for individuals seeking a second opinion or exploring BVNA for the first time.

If your care has been disrupted, you don’t have to remain in limbo. With experienced specialists and cutting-edge technology readily available, you have a clear path forward. Dr. Chiu and the dedicated spine care team are ready to help you take the next step toward lasting relief and a better quality of life—without unnecessary waiting.
