Find Lasting Relief from Chronic Low Back Pain with the Intracept Procedure in Wichita, KS

If you’ve had low back pain for six months or longer and nothing seems to help, the Intracept Procedure might be the answer. This minimally invasive treatment targets a specific nerve inside the spine that sends pain signals to your brain.

The Intracept Procedure is a new, proven treatment for chronic low back pain that comes from the bones of the spine (the vertebrae), not the discs or muscles. This type of pain is called vertebrogenic pain.

During the procedure, a doctor gently inserts a special probe into the bone of your lower spine and uses radiofrequency energy (a small amount of heat) to stop a tiny nerve—called the basivertebral nerve—from sending pain signals. Once that nerve is turned off, the pain source is gone.

Benefits of the Intracept Procedure

  • Minimally invasive – no large incision or implant

  • Fast recovery – most people are back to daily life within days

  • Long-lasting results – pain relief can last up to five years or longer

  • Targeted relief – directly treats the source of pain inside the spine
