Living with chronic lower back pain can be frustrating and often affects your day-to-day life. If you have tried various treatments and remedies without success, the Intracept® procedure might be for you. This procedure targets the source of your pain rather than covering up the symptoms.
Intracept® is a minimally invasive and outpatient surgery that helps people suffering from chronic lower back pain. This treatment targets the basivertebral nerve and helps to disrupt pain signals from your spine to your brain. It addresses the source of your pain and aims to provide long-lasting relief.
During the procedure, your surgeon will use special tools to reach the basivertebral nerve in your spine. They then apply radiofrequency energy to disconnect this nerve, which blocks the pain signals that are responsible for your discomfort in your lower back.
Why Choose Intracept®?
- Minimally Invasive: This procedure is done through a small incision which means less stress on your body.
- Quick Recovery: The Intracept® surgery takes about an hour and patients are likely to go home the same day.
- Long-Lasting Results: Many patients have reported significant pain relief for years after this procedure. They also communicated enhanced movement and flexibility after the surgery.
- Targeted Pain Relief: This procedure specifically addresses the basivertebral nerve to reduce pain at the source.
If you have been living with chronic back pain for six months or longer and have not found relief through physical therapy or other injections, consider discussing Intracept® with your doctor. This minimally invasive procedure can help you regain control of your life and enjoy your daily activities with no pain. Do not let chronic back pain decide what you can and cannot do. Take the first step toward a pain-free life by exploring this procedure. You deserve to live fully, and Intracept® could be your answer.
