Relieve Back Pain with the Intracept® Procedure

Living with long-term back pain can be disruptive to your daily life. Fortunately, we're happy to offer a lasting solution with the innovative Intracept® Procedure. Our care team is ready to meet you wherever you are in your care journey, working to restore your quality of life. 

How Does the Intracept® Procedure Work? 

The Intracept® Procedure is a minimally invasive, implant-free procedure that preserves the structure of the spine. We can offer this new treatment as a same-day procedure, getting you in and out of your visit quickly. The procedure usually takes just an hour and is FDA-cleared to be safe and effective. 

What Is Vertebrogenic Pain?

Vertebral endplates are thin layers of cartilage and bone that sit between vertebral bodies and discs in the spine. Over time, wear and tear can produce stress on our vertebral endplates, causing inflammation. This is known as having vertebrogenic pain. The basivertebral nerve (BVN), found within the vertebrae, then carries pain signals from these endplates directly to the brain.
