This innovative treatment targets the basivertebral nerve in the lower part of your spine, which transmits pain signals when degenerative changes occur in the vertebral endplates. This minimally invasive procedure blocks the transmission of pain signals, relieving chronic lower back pain while preserving the structure of the spine. You may be a candidate for Intracept® treatment if you’ve had lower back pain for six months or more that has not responded to conservative therapy. Talk with your doctor to learn more.
