When Your Pain is Finally Defined.
That’s Living Proof.

Chronic low back pain steals so much of life. Now there’s a way to get back to living.

How Patients Describe Vertebrogenic Pain

Patients who find relief from the Intracept Procedure often describe pain in the middle of their low back that is made worse by physical activity, prolonged sitting, bending forward, or with bending and lifting.

What First State Spine Patients are Saying

“The Intracept procedure done by Dr. James Zaslavsky has made a significant change in my quality of life. Only two weeks out from the procedure, and I feel my health has been restored. I have not experienced the debilitating back pain that I experienced prior to the procedure. I am feeling pain-free and I’m returning to normal activities that I couldn’t do prior to the procedure.”

-Linda, September 2024

Proven Relief of Vertebrogenic Pain

NEARLY 80% of patients in a recent long-term study would have the Intracept Procedure again for the same condition.

AFTER 5 YEARS, 65% of patients reported resuming the level of activity they enjoyed prior to low back pain in a recent long-term study.

LESS THAN 0.3%
report serious Intracept Procedure-related complications.

BASED ON OVER 30 YEARS
of research.

Meet the Intracept Procedure

Chronic low back pain steals so much of life. Now there’s a way to get back to living. The Intracept Procedure: the outpatient procedure for proven relief of chronic vertebrogenic low back pain.

Multiple Clinical Trials Demonstrate:

SAFE
Strong safety profile with less than a 0.3% rate of serious Intracept Procedure-related complications reported across nearly 400 clinical trial patients.1

EFFECTIVE
Two Level I RCTs demonstrate that the Intracept Procedure is an effective treatment compared to both a sham-control procedure and to non-surgical standard care.2,3

DURABLE
Significant improvements in function and pain seen at 3 months post the Intracept Procedure are sustained more than 5 years after a single treatment.2

REPRODUCIBLE
Consistency across clinical studies with results reproduced in a typical community spine practice.2-6

Just Clear, Rigorous, High-Quality Data.

The Intracept Procedure
Can Relieve the Pain

The Intracept Procedure is a same-day procedure performed in an outpatient surgery center. Unlike some major surgeries, the Intracept Procedure is implant-free and preserves the overall structure of the spine
