Dr. Shawn Milburn Designated an Intracept™ Procedure Center of Excellence

|

Dr. Shawn Milburn, from our Lexington clinic, has been designated an Intracept™ Procedure Center of Excellence (COE). The COE program recognizes physicians specializing in Intracept™ who consistently strive to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

Physicians in the COE program have achieved a high level of training and experience with the procedure and demonstrate a commitment to maintaining their proficiency. Dr. Milburn, who is board-certified in both pain medicine and anesthesiology, is dedicated to providing patients with access to the latest advancements in pain management.

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

If you're interested in finding out whether you're a candidate for Intracept™, call us at (502) 890-5639 or fill out our self-referral form.
