Dallas-based Texas Spine Consultants partner and surgeon Andrew Park, MD, performed the minimally invasive lower back pain Intracept procedure Jan 21.
What you should know:
1. The Intracept is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure used to treat chronic lower back pain.
2. Three other Texas Spine Consultants providers also perform the procedure.
3. Dr. Park said, "Because of its nominally-invasive, implant-free nature, the Intercept Procedure is extremely attractive for those looking for durable relief from chronic low back pain. … the structure of the spine is better preserved and the recovery time is minimal. I definitely see us using and perfecting this procedure in the future."
