Intracept Procedure

Intracept is a same-day procedure that targets and deadens the nerves responsible for low-back pain, especially stemming from the discs, with radiofrequency heat and without a lengthy recovery.

The Intracept procedure involves heating the nerve with a radiofrequency probe to stop it from sending pain signals to the brain. This is a stitch free, one and done procedure that is performed in an outpatient surgery center. Unlike other major surgeries, the Intracept procedure is implant-free and preserves the overall structure of the spine.
