Overview
The Intracept Procedure targets the basivertebral nerve, which carries pain signals from damaged vertebral endplates. Using precise radiofrequency energy, the nerve is gently ablated through a small incision — without altering the structure of the spine.
Intracept is designed for carefully selected patients with chronic low back pain linked to vertebral endplate changes (such as Modic changes) on MRI. It offers a non-surgical, long-lasting option when conservative care has not provided adequate relief.

What to Expect
The procedure is performed through a small incision using radiofrequency energy to ablate the basivertebral nerve. It does not alter spine structure and offers durable relief for chronic low back pain originating from the vertebral endplates.
