Is Your Back Pain Coming From the Spine Itself?
If you’ve been living with chronic low back pain that hasn’t improved with physical therapy, medications, injections, or other conservative treatments, you may have a specific type of back pain called vertebrogenic pain.
Vertebrogenic pain originates from the vertebrae (bones of the spine) and is often associated with changes that occur as the spine naturally ages. This type of pain is commonly linked to inflammation and irritation of a nerve within the vertebra called the basivertebral nerve, which can send pain signals from the spine to the brain.
The Intracept® Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment designed to target this source of pain and provide lasting relief.
What Is the Intracept® Procedure?
The Intracept® Procedure is a minimally invasive outpatient treatment that targets the basivertebral nerve inside the spine. By interrupting the pain signals carried by this nerve, the procedure is designed to reduce chronic vertebrogenic low back pain at its source.
Patients typically return home the same day, and many are able to resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, based on their physician’s recommendations.
