What is the Intracept procedure?
The Intracept Procedure is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure for patients with vertebrogenic pain. The procedure targets a specific nerve within the vertebra called the basivertebral nerve and has been shown to improve function and relieve pain long-term. The procedure is implant-free, preserving future treatment options for other spine conditions.
What to Expect from Intracept Procedure
The Intracept Procedure is a quick, low-risk outpatient procedure using local anesthetic. Healing can be short-term or longer-lasting, but treatment can be repeated if necessary.
Significant improvements in function and pain seen at 3 months post the Intracept Procedure are sustained more than 5 years after a single treatment.
