What is vertebrogenic chronic low back pain?
Vertebrogenic low back pain is caused by damage to parts of your spine called vertebral endplates. The damage can develop over time with the wear and tear on your back that comes from everyday activities.
Vertebrogenic pain is usually felt in the middle of the low back and is often made worse by:
How Does the Intracept® Procedure Work?
The Intracept Procedure is a minimally invasive, implant-free procedure that preserves the overall structure of the spine. The Intracept Procedure is a same-day, outpatient procedure. Patients are under anesthesia, and the procedure generally lasts an hour. The procedure is FDA-cleared and is proven in multiple studies to be safe, effective, and durable.
How Long Does Pain Relief Last Following the Intracept® Procedure?
Clinical evidence demonstrates the majority of patients experience significant improvements in function and pain 3 months post-procedure that are sustained more than 5 years after a single treatment.
How Do I Know If I’m a Candidate for Intracept®?
The Intracept® Procedure is indicated for patients who have had:
- Chronic low back pain for at least six months,
- Who have tried conservative care for at least six months, and
- Whose MRI shows features consistent with Modic changes – indicating damage at the vertebral endplates has led to inflammation.
The Intracept Procedure, as with any procedure, has risks that should be discussed between the patient and the medical provider. Â
