This prestigious designation, awarded to select centers offering exceptional patient care and expertise, is a testament to our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for chronic low back pain.

As a designated Center of Excellence, Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island is now among an elite group of providers offering the revolutionary Intracept Procedure to patients suffering from chronic low back pain.
What is the Intracept Procedure?
The Intracept Procedure is a breakthrough treatment specifically designed for patients with chronic low back pain stemming from the basivertebral nerve. Unlike traditional approaches that focus on short-term pain relief, the Intracept Procedure offers long-lasting results by targeting the source of the pain at its root.
This minimally invasive procedure involves ablating (burning) the basivertebral nerve, which transmits pain signals from the vertebral endplates in the spine. By disrupting these signals, patients experience significant, long-term relief from pain that has persisted for six months or more.

The Benefits of the Intracept Procedure
- Minimally Invasive: With no large incisions and minimal recovery time, this procedure allows patients to quickly return to their normal activities.
- Lasting Relief: Clinical studies have shown that patients experience significant and lasting pain relief for up to two years after the procedure.
- No Implants or Hardware: The Intracept Procedure does not involve the use of spinal implants or hardware, reducing potential complications.
Is the Intracept Procedure Right for You?
If you’ve been living with chronic low back pain that hasn’t responded to traditional treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections, the Intracept Procedure may be the solution you’ve been searching for. Ideal candidates are those with pain that’s been ongoing for at least six months, especially if imaging shows degenerative changes in the spine.
