Relieving Pain. Restoring Hope.
Basivertebral Nerve
About the treatment
The basivertebral nerve (BVN) penetrates the vertebrae at the posterior aspect of the vertebral body (the bony structures in the spine) and extends towards the endplates (situated at the upper and lower surfaces of each vertebral body). In cases where the endplates suffer damage, these nerve endings multiply and become more sensitive to pain signals, which are then transmitted to the brain through the BVN. The Intracept Procedure alleviates vertebrogenic pain by applying heat to the basivertebral nerve (BVN) using a radio frequency probe, thereby interrupting its ability to transmit pain signals to the brain.
After the treatment
Based on clinical evidence, the majority of patients observe substantial enhancements in both their functions abilities and pain levels three months following the procedure. These improvements persist for over five years after undergoing a single treatment.
