Clearway Pain Solutions Introduces Intracept® Procedure in Pensacola

Clearway Pain Solutions, recognized for its innovative approach to pain management, is thrilled to announce the introduction of the Intracept® Procedure at its Pensacola location. Led by skilled physicians Dr. Spinks, Dr. DiSanto, and Dr. Walsh, the practice is now a designated Center of Excellence (COE), reflecting their extensive expertise in performing this minimally invasive procedure designed for patients suffering from chronic vertebrogenic low back pain.

Understanding the Intracept® Procedure

The Intracept Procedure is a groundbreaking outpatient treatment that specifically targets the basivertebral nerve, responsible for transmitting pain signals from damaged vertebral endplates. This process involves inserting a specialized probe into the vertebra, where radiofrequency energy is applied to ablate the nerve. Unlike conventional radiofrequency ablation methods, the basivertebral nerve is non-myelinated, meaning it does not regenerate post-treatment. As a result, this method offers a one-time solution for eligible patients, conserving the spine's overall structural integrity.

Clinical research substantiates the efficacy of the Intracept Procedure, indicating significant and prolonged improvements in pain levels and functionality. Notably, many patients experience reduced reliance on opioids and spinal injections while expressing high satisfaction rates after treatment.

Dr. DiSanto's Perspective

Dr. DiSanto, one of the leading physicians at Clearway, notes, "Chronic low back pain affects countless individuals, often without them realizing that vertebrogenic pain might be the underlying issue. The Intracept Procedure provides a scientifically-supported, minimally invasive alternative that can lead to significant relief and restoration of everyday function for those who qualify."

Who Can Benefit?

Statistics reveal that one in six Americans suffering from chronic low back pain may be experiencing vertebrogenic pain. Specific criteria make patients potential candidates for the procedure, including:

• - A history of chronic lower back discomfort lasting at least six months
• - Unsuccessful responses to conservative treatments over a similar duration
• - MRI findings indicating Modic Type 1 or 2 changes

Achieving Excellence in Care

The COE designation is awarded to healthcare professionals demonstrating exceptional training and experience with the Intracept Procedure. This distinction highlights the commitment of Dr. Spinks, Dr. DiSanto, and Dr. Walsh to maintain a comprehensive understanding and proficiency in managing vertebrogenic pain.
