Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from lower back pain that cannot be treated with traditional solutions such as pain medication or exercise. The Sinai Rehabilitation Center, a comprehensive location for pain and spine care, is the first in Maryland to offer Intracept, a unique and effective new procedure for patients with vertebrogenic back pain.
Lower back pain can be caused by a number of contributors such as arthritis, sports injuries or muscle strain. Your doctor can help you determine if your back pain is vertebrogenic by performing a physical exam and using an MRI to look for modic changes to your spine.
Vertebrogenic back pain is caused by damaged vertebral endplates. The Intracept Procedure works to target the affected nerves in the vertebrae.
