Millions of people suffer from chronic low back pain, impacting their ability to work, enjoy hobbies, and simply live life to the fullest. For those people who’ve tried physical therapy, medication, and injections but still haven’t found relief, radiofrequency ablation of the basivertebral nerve (BVN) might be the answer to lasting pain relief.
Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that targets the basivertebral nerve (BVN), a major source of pain for many individuals with chronic low back pain. The BVN transmits pain signals from the vertebral body endplates in the spine to the brain. Radiofrequency ablation interrupts the nerve’s ability to transmit pain signals by
Targeted Approach: A small incision is made in the lower back.
Precise Navigation: Using real-time X-ray guidance, a specialized instrument is guided to the BVN.
Radiofrequency Neurotomy: Radiofrequency energy is applied to the BVN, disrupting its ability to send pain signals.
Minimal Recovery: The procedure typically takes about an hour, and patients can usually return home the same day.
Lasting Relief: Clinical studies have shown significant and sustained pain reduction for up to 5 years.
Minimally Invasive: Small incision, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
Outpatient Procedure: Performed in an outpatient setting, allowing you to return home the same day.
Targets the Source of Pain: Addresses the underlying cause of pain by targeting the BVN.
Reduced Reliance on Pain Medication: Many patients experience a significant reduction in their need for pain medication.
Improved Quality of Life: Experience increased mobility, reduced pain, and a return to activities you enjoy.
This procedure may be a good option if you:
Have experienced chronic low back pain for at least 6 months.
Have been diagnosed with vertebrogenic pain, meaning the pain originates from the vertebral body endplates.
Have not found lasting relief from conservative treatments like physical therapy, medication, or injections.
