Intracept® Procedure in Beverly Hills, Orange County & Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Minimally Invasive Relief for Chronic Low Back Pain

If you have been struggling with chronic low back pain that hasn’t improved with physical therapy, medications, or injections, you may be dealing with vertebrogenic pain—pain caused by nerve irritation inside your vertebrae. At Westside Pain Specialists, with locations in Beverly Hills, Orange County, and Rancho Cucamonga, CA, we offer the Intracept® Procedure by Boston Scientific—a minimally invasive, FDA-approved treatment designed to target the source of this pain and provide long-term relief.

What Is the Intracept® Procedure?

The Intracept Procedure is a revolutionary, outpatient treatment for vertebrogenic low back pain. It works by using radiofrequency energy to disable the basivertebral nerve—a nerve located inside the vertebra that sends pain signals to the brain. By stopping these pain signals at the source, Intracept offers meaningful, lasting relief without the need for spinal fusion or long-term medications.

Benefits of Intracept® by Boston Scientific

• Targets the source of pain rather than just masking symptoms
• Is minimally invasive with no large incisions
• Offers long-term relief—clinical studies show improvements lasting at least 5 years
• Has a quick recovery time—most patients resume normal activities within days
• Avoids chronic opioid use or major surgery

Who Is a Candidate for the Intracept® Procedure?

• Have chronic low back pain lasting at least 6 months
• Have not found relief from conservative treatments like therapy, medications, or injections
• Have MRI findings showing Modic Type 1 or Type 2 changes (signs of vertebrogenic pain)
• Are looking for a non-fusion, minimally invasive alternative

What to Expect During the Intracept® Procedure

1. Evaluation & Diagnosis – Our pain specialists will review your history, imaging, and symptoms to confirm vertebrogenic pain.
2. Local or General Anesthesia – The procedure is done under anesthesia for your comfort.
3. Targeting the Basivertebral Nerve – Using a specialized probe, radiofrequency energy is applied to disable the nerve.
