Breakthrough relief for chronic low back pain: The Intracept procedure

 

UCI Health offers the Intracept procedure, a minimally invasive, implant-free treatment designed to provide lasting relief for patients suffering from chronic low back pain caused by damaged spinal discs. By targeting the basivertebral nerve with radiofrequency ablation, this innovative approach disrupts pain signals at their source. Performed in the outpatient setting with a brief recovery period, the Intracept procedure preserves overall spine structure and has a proven safety profile, making it an ideal option for eligible patients seeking long-term pain relief.
