Intracept
What it Treats
The Intracept® procedure is used to relieve chronic low back pain caused by vertebrogenic pain, which originates from the vertebral endplates in the spine. It is typically recommended for patients who have not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections.
How the Procedure Is Performed
The procedure is performed using imaging guidance to accurately place a small probe through the vertebral body to the basivertebral nerve. Controlled radiofrequency energy is applied to the nerve to disrupt pain signals, providing long-term relief from vertebrogenic back pain.
