Expanded provider availability strengthens the practice’s nationally recognized vertebrogenic pain program.
Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island continues to expand access to the Intracept® Procedure on Long Island, as Dr. Marissa Catalanotto now offers this advanced treatment for vertebrogenic pain within the practice.
Expanding Access to the Intracept® Procedure on Long Island
The Intracept® Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment designed to address vertebrogenic pain — a distinct and often underdiagnosed source of chronic low back pain originating from the vertebral endplates. By targeting the basivertebral nerve responsible for transmitting pain signals, the procedure provides a focused, evidence-based option for appropriately selected patients.
The program builds upon Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island’s established experience with vertebrogenic pain treatment. The practice has been recognized as a Center of Excellence for delivering the Intracept® Procedure, reflecting its commitment to precision diagnosis and advanced spine care. With Dr. Catalanotto now performing the procedure, patients benefit from expanded provider availability within a nationally recognized program.

Patients experiencing chronic low back pain that has not improved with traditional therapies may benefit from a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether vertebrogenic pain is contributing to their symptoms.
