Intracept™ is an innovative option for those seeking relief from chronic lower back pain that has not responded to conservative treatments. The procedure uses radiofrequency energy to target and heat the basivertebral nerve (BVN), which is often linked to chronic lower back pain symptoms such as weakness, prickling, tingling, and numbness. By disrupting the BVN's signal transmission, Intracept™ can provide significant, long-lasting pain relief.
Intracept™ may be most effective for patients who:
- Are experiencing back pain that is reducing their quality of life
- Have not found relief through physical therapy, medication, injections, or other treatments
- Are looking for an alternative to surgery
- Need long-term pain management solutions
