What is Basivertebral Nerve Ablation?
Basivertebral Nerve Ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for a specific type of chronic low back pain known as vertebrogenic pain.
Vertebrogenic pain originates in the vertebra, when damage occurs to the endplates of your vertebrae. These endplates act as a protective barrier between each vertebrae and spinal disk. They also carry blood and nutrients to your disks. Damaged endplates can cause pain at the basivertebral nerve inside your vertebrae.
The Basivertebral Nerve Ablation procedure uses radiofrequency energy to heat up and disrupt the pain signals from reaching the brain. This technique offers long term relief from vertebrogenic pain.
