Intracept Procedure Side Effects
The Intracept Procedure is a new, minimally invasive treatment for lower back pain. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional open back surgery. However, as with any surgery, there are potential side effects.
The most common side effect is postoperative pain. This pain is typically managed with oral pain medication and ice. Other potential side effects include:
– Infection
– Bleeding
– Nerve injury
– Dural tear
– Facet joint injury
– Spinal cord injury
Although rare, these side effects can be serious. That is why it is important to discuss all potential risks and benefits of the Intracept Procedure with your doctor before having the surgery.
