The Intracept procedure is performed by inserting a specialized probe that targets a nerve in the vertebrae. It then uses heat to disable the nerve, making it unable to transmit pain signals, according to a March 9 news release shared with Becker’s.

The procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes and doesn’t use implants.

Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic has seven clinic locations across north Florida and south Georgia.

 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
