The Intracept Procedure: Advanced Relief for Chronic Low Back Pain

The Intracept Procedure represents a breakthrough in treating chronic low back pain, offering hope to patients who haven’t found relief through conventional treatments. This minimally invasive procedure specifically targets vertebrogenic pain – pain that originates from the vertebral endplates of your spine.

How Does Intracept Work?

During this outpatient procedure, your surgeon uses gentle heat energy (radiofrequency) to disable the basivertebral nerve, which carries pain signals from within your vertebrae. This innovative approach requires only a small incision and doesn’t involve implants, fusion, or major alterations to your spine’s structure.

Key Benefits of the Intracept Procedure

• Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery times
• Targeted relief for specific types of chronic back pain
• Preservation of normal spine movement and stability
• Quick return to daily activities for most patients
• Performed as an outpatient procedure

Is Intracept Right for You?

The ideal candidates for Intracept typically have:

• Chronic low back pain lasting 6 months or longer
• Pain that hasn’t responded to conservative treatments
• Specific MRI findings called Modic changes
• No major structural issues like severe stenosis or herniated discs
