With round one a little over a month away White, born in Scone and a Maitland Blacks junior, had an operation to address shoulder issues on Monday.
"Nic opted to undergo a minor clean-up on Monday to release the bicep tendon in his left shoulder following a recent aggravation," a Force spokesperson told the Newcastle Herald.
"It went well, Nic was back in the club the next day commencing his rehab and is already running this week with a view to returning to full training in three weeks."
The Force host the Hurricanes on February 23.
White, a two-time World Cup representative, is beginning a two-year deal in Western Australia.
He's expected to miss the first pre-season game.
