What is Intracept?
Intracept is a new, minimally invasive outpatient procedure that targets a nerve located in the vertebrae of the spine. It has been clinically proven to relieve chronic low back pain, which is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.
Am I a candidate for Intracept?
If you suffer from chronic low back pain, one potential cause may be stress-led microfractures of the vertebral body endplates. Back injury, genetic makeup, and other factors can contribute to spine degeneration and lead to microfractures. The basivertebral nerve is situated within the vertebral body and is responsible for transmitting pain from the vertebral body endplates, leading to chronic low back pain.
