Dr. Neilson Tran Now Offering the Intracept® Procedure for Chronic Low Back Pain

Finally, Relief for Chronic Low Back Pain: Dr. Neilson Tran Now Offering the Intracept® Procedure
Dr. Neilson Tran now offers the Intracept® Procedure—a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that targets the basivertebral nerve, a known source of vertebrogenic pain.

What it Does:

This minimally invasive procedure targets the basivertebral nerve, a key contributor to pain linked with spinal endplate damage. Using advanced imaging, Dr. Tran guides a small probe into the vertebra and applies radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain signals—without removing tissue, inserting implants, or altering spinal stability.

Benefits of the Intracept® Procedure

Patients choose Intracept not only for its effectiveness, but also for the many advantages it offers:

  • Direct, targeted relief from vertebrogenic pain
  • Minimally invasive technique with small incisions
  • Faster recovery time and no overnight hospital stay
  • No need for implants or hardware
  • Long-lasting results—some patients report relief lasting over five years
  • Reduced reliance on opioids or repeat injections

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be a candidate for the Intracept® Procedure if:

  • You have experienced chronic low back pain for six months or longer
  • Conservative treatments such as therapy, medications, or injections have not provided relief
  • Your MRI shows signs of vertebral endplate damage (Modic Type 1 or Type 2 changes)

Dr. Neilson Tran will evaluate your case and determine whether this innovative treatment is appropriate for you.
