How Intracept Conquers Vertebrogenic Pain

Qualify

People with low back pain that meets a few simple standards are eligible for Intracept, and physicians who have been trained by Relievant are eligible to treat them. Criteria are:

  • Duration of low back pain has to exceed 6 months.
  • Consertive treatments have been ineffective.
  • Presence of Modic changes on MRI.
  • Patients who have been effectively treated with the Intracept Procedure often describe their pain as being worse with activities of daily living.

Get Connected

Potential patients can find an Intracept physician or learn more about vertebrogenic pain and the procedure.

Get Diagnosed

The physician will conduct a physical exam and review the patient’s MRI to specifically to look for Modic changes – a biomarker that identifies inflammation caused by endplate damage, which is the key indicator the patient may be a candidate for the Intracept procedure.

Procedure Time

Patients go to a designated procedure site, and spend an hour under anesthesia while the physician puts the Intracept System to work.

Post-Procedure Follow Up

Following the procedure, your doctor may recommend some precautions to take – and after a brief healing period, most people resume normal activities. Some even start to feel relief immediately after the procedure.

Different from other nerves in your body that regenerate, the BVN has not shown an ability to grow back following the Intracept procedure. In fact, Intracept patients in a recent study reported their improvements in function and pain lasted more than 5 years following the procedure – with over a third of these patients indicating they were totally pain-free at that time.
