Does chronic back pain always mean major spine surgery? Not necessarily.

Different causes of back pain call for different treatments, and for some patients, a minimally invasive procedure may be an option.

At MD Pain, Dr. Bernardini offers advanced treatments including:
🔹 Intracept™: Targets the basivertebral nerve to help relieve certain types of chronic low back pain.
🔹 StabiLink®: A minimally invasive spinal fixation approach for selected patients who need spinal stabilization and fusion.
🔹 mild®: Removes excess ligament tissue to help relieve pressure on nerves in certain cases of lumbar spinal stenosis.

The key is understanding what's causing your pain and finding the right approach for your individual needs.

If back pain is keeping you from doing what you love, schedule a consultation with MD Pain to learn more about your options.

What if your chronic low back pain is actually coming from inside the vertebrae?

For some patients, damaged vertebral endplates can trigger the basivertebral nerve (BVN) to send ongoing pain signals to the brain. This type of pain, called vertebrogenic pain, may feel worse with everyday activities like sitting, bending, lifting, or being active.

The Intracept® Procedure targets the basivertebral nerve using radiofrequency energy to interrupt those pain signals. It’s minimally invasive, implant-free, and designed to provide long-term relief for appropriately selected patients.

If chronic low back pain hasn’t improved with conservative treatment, schedule an appointment with MD Pain to find out if Intracept may be an option for you.

Rib or chest wall pain may be coming from the nerves.

An intercostal nerve root block is a targeted injection designed to anesthetize the nerves that run along the ribs and may help relieve pain caused by conditions like intercostal neuralgia, shingles, costochondritis, or rib fractures.

If persistent rib, chest, back, or abdominal pain is affecting your daily life, schedule an appointment with MD Pain to learn if this treatment may be right for you.
