Degenerative disc disease treatment: What is the Intracept procedure and how does basivertebral nerve ablation help? 💫

Chronic low back pain stops too many of us from enjoying life’s moments. Questions like, “Is there anything left to try?” or “What actually works for degenerative disc disease?” come up all the time. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, we witness the impact of this pain and the frustration it brings every single day.

Let’s clear up what the Intracept procedure offers for degenerative disc disease.

The Intracept procedure (also known as basivertebral nerve ablation) is a minimally invasive treatment for certain types of chronic low back pain, especially vertebrogenic pain caused by degenerative disc disease.

Here’s how it works:
- A small incision is made in the back
- A tube is guided into the vertebra to access the target area
- Radiofrequency heat is used to ablate (damage) the basivertebral nerve

The entire procedure is performed as an outpatient experience, lasting about 60–90 minutes. Some patients experience temporary soreness and mild swelling at the incision site—this usually goes away within a few days. It’s best to avoid vigorous activity for 2–4 weeks after the procedure as part of a safe and smooth recovery.

There’s something empowering about knowing all your options when living with chronic pain. Our team is inspired every day by the strength of patients who refuse to give up, and we’re committed to supporting every step forward—no matter how small.

Have you or someone you care about wondered what else can be done for chronic low back pain? What questions do you have about innovative procedures like basivertebral nerve ablation?

CRPS treatment breakthroughs like spinal cord stimulation are changing what’s possible for chronic pain relief. 💡

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a rare, challenging condition. It often develops after an injury or surgery, leaving patients with persistent nerve pain that feels impossible to shake. For so many, daily life becomes a struggle—routine tasks, relationships, even hope can be stolen by chronic pain.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, Dr. Weisbein and her team are inspired to lead with innovation. Spinal cord stimulation is a specialized treatment that has offered new light for those living with CRPS and other chronic pain. This approach uses a small implanted device to send electrical impulses through the spine, changing how pain is felt and often returned a sense of control. Patients finally say, "Something different is happening. I can move. I can rest."

Why does spinal cord stimulation matter?
- It is designed for those with CRPS, back pain, or nerve pain when other options fail.
- The main goal is functional improvement, restoring normalcy to daily life.
- Treatment typically starts with a one-week temporary trial. If it provides real relief, a permanent device is placed.

Care doesn’t stop at technology. Dr. Weisbein’s holistic, empathetic approach means every plan is personal. Empowering people with education, lifestyle support, and inspiration is just as vital as each procedure.

We are honored to walk alongside patients who have felt stuck, frustrated, or left behind by pain. When science moves forward, hope returns. This is why we show up.

Medial branch block FAQ: How can this procedure influence the direction of your pain management treatment? 💫

It’s tough when chronic pain continues, and frustration builds for those who feel like they’ve “tried everything and nothing works.” At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, options like the medial branch block can sometimes guide the way forward.

What is a medial branch block? Your treatment plan may include: ... Medial branch blocks... These are tailored as part of customized care for neck pain or chronic low back pain. Patients often ask: “Will this help me?” and “What can I expect?”

Clinical research highlights key benefits patients may see:
- In studies of cervical medial branch blocks, 62.2% of people experienced meaningful pain relief at two weeks. Some benefits, including improvements in physical and emotional well-being, continued over several months.
- For those with chronic low back pain, lumbar medial branch blocks have shown the potential to provide therapeutic benefit for up to six months post-injection.

Sometimes, the answers these blocks give are just as important as the pain relief itself. The way your body responds can help Dr. Weisbein determine which advanced pain treatments might work best for you.

What matters most? Having a team you can trust to really listen and build a plan around your life. Personalized pain management is never one-size-fits-all—it’s about understanding what’s possible and pushing what’s next, together.

Curious if a medial branch block may be right for your chronic pain? Or want to know how it fits into the bigger picture of sacroiliac joint care and spinal procedures? Let’s talk. What questions do you wish more doctors would answer about pain relief? 💬

Spinal stenosis treatment gave me back my ability to walk with confidence—don’t live with spinal stenosis pain!

There are moments when chronic pain tries to define us. For so many living with spinal stenosis, every step can feel uncertain. Walking or even standing upright becomes a challenge most people take for granted.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, we see the invisible weight our patients carry. Spinal stenosis narrows the space around the spinal cord, putting pressure on vital nerves. It can show up as:
- Back or neck pain
- Numbness, tingling in arms or legs
- Walking or balance problems
- Weakness or cramping in the legs

It’s humbling to meet people who once believed they’d “tried everything”—missing out on family walks, travel, and moments that matter. Inspired by their determination, Dr. Jackie Weisbein, DO, crafts treatment plans with expertise and heart.

Every success story begins with hope—and innovative spinal stenosis treatments can help restore movement and independence. Surgical decompression, for example, relieves nerve pressure while keeping your spine stable. Exercise-based rehabilitation also plays a powerful role, sometimes improving symptoms in both the short and long term for many people facing lumbar spinal stenosis.

What does progress look like? Confidence. A patient returns to the activities and routines they love. Sometimes, it’s a simple walk in the park that signals real healing. Gratitude grows with every steady step.

Don’t live with spinal stenosis pain. Support, empathy, and advanced care—these are the pillars our team stands on. 🌸

Has chronic pain ever made you feel like you were missing out? What would reclaiming movement mean for you or your loved ones?

Epidural steroid injection delivers targeted relief by reducing inflammation and pain right at the source. ✨

Chronic pain can steal precious moments and keep people sidelined from what they love. For those navigating conditions like chronic low back pain or sciatica, even simple activities can feel out of reach.

Epidural injections involve the injection of anesthetic or anti-inflammatory medicine into the epidural space near a compressed nerve. At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, this treatment has helped many reclaim daily joys with less interruption from pain.

Why do patients consider an epidural steroid injection?
- Delivers pain-relieving anesthetics and powerful anti-inflammatories to the spine
- Helps reduce inflammation for people with radiculopathy or spinal stenosis
- Can improve function and decrease pain-related disability in chronic lumbosacral pain

During the procedure, local anesthetic is used for comfort. X-ray guidance allows Dr. Weisbein to precisely deliver the medicine where it’s needed. Most patients notice pain relief within a day or two. There is little to no downtime (many return home the same day) and candidacy is determined by reviewing symptoms and history.

Everyone’s journey with chronic pain is unique. Personalized care means truly listening and tailoring treatments that honor each story. When targeted options like epidural steroid injection make a difference, hope grows—and new possibilities open up.

Have you or someone you care about tried different pain relief approaches? What questions do you have about epidural steroid injection?

$Vertebral compression fracture treatment options like kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty can relieve severe pain and restore...$

10/01/2025

Vertebral compression fracture treatment options like kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty can relieve severe pain and restore height.

A vertebral compression fracture happens when a vertebral body in the spine collapses. The results? Severe pain, loss of height, and spinal deformity. Watching patients experience these symptoms—feeling frustrated, limited, or even missing out on cherished activities—reminds us why expert, individualized care matters.

Who’s at risk?
- People with severe osteoporosis or weak bones (sometimes a small movement can cause a fracture)
- Anyone who has already had a vertebral compression fracture (risk for another goes up significantly)
- Those who have had a fall, sports injury, or car accident
- VCFs are more common with increasing age, and women face a slightly higher risk due to lower bone mineral density

Treatment is personal. Nonsurgical methods, kyphoplasty, or vertebroplasty may be recommended based on your unique fracture and symptoms. Each approach seeks meaningful relief—often restoring not just your vertebral shape and height, but also your sense of possibility.

Relief from severe pain is real. Even simple daily activities can become possible when pain is eased and mobility improves.

At Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group, Dr. Weisbein’s team combines advanced interventional pain management with a boutique, holistic style—one focused on giving people back parts of their lives.

Have you or someone you know faced a vertebral compression fracture? What questions do you have about kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty? Let’s talk below.

Radiofrequency ablation FAQ: How does radiofrequency neurotomy provide lasting relief for chronic back pain? 💫

Chronic pain can take so much from us—our movement, our passions, even our sense of hope. Many patients come to Napa Valley Orthopaedic Medical Group after trying so many options. They're looking for real answers and a path back to their lives.

Let’s talk about an advanced approach: radiofrequency ablation, also called “radiofrequency neurotomy.” This interventional treatment targets the nerve fibers that send pain signals from the back to the brain. Dr. Jackie Weisbein offers this procedure as part of a holistic care plan for those seeking sustainable relief.

Here’s how it works:
- Heat is delivered through a radiofrequency probe to specifically ablate (damage) nerve fibers involved in pain.
- In the Intracept Procedure (basivertebral nerve ablation), the focus is on treating certain types of chronic low back pain—particularly when other therapies, like medication, injections, or physical therapy, haven’t worked.
- This process is minimally invasive. The procedure typically takes 60–90 minutes and is done on an outpatient basis.

Real-world studies show encouraging outcomes for patients with chronic low back pain after radiofrequency ablation for lumbar facetogenic pain. Results include:
- Sustained improvement in pain relief
- Better function and more daily activity
- Enhanced quality-of-life and patient satisfaction, even up to 24 months after the procedure

Most patients can expect slight soreness, possible bruising, or mild swelling for a few days. The approach is about restoring hope—with compassionate care, lifestyle support, and true partnership.

Every journey with chronic pain is unique. Dr. Weisbein and her team believe in listening first and personalizing every step of treatment, so you’re never just a diagnosis—you’re part of our community.

Have you ever wondered if radiofrequency ablation could help with your chronic low back pain, or know someone who’s struggled to find lasting relief? Let us know your questions or experiences below!

Lukey was not a dog I ever wanted. In fact, the first 3 homes that had him didn’t want him either. Which is how he ended up with me. Lambchop, my third Great Dane, was 9… and Luke was 4-5. They said he was too big. But compared to Lambchop he was small. And he needed a home.

Luke was the most loving, kind, snuggly, needy dog. He was always happy to make a new friend whether human or animal. He could open doors. He could eat 4 bagels in one sitting. He could find a sock even if there wasn’t one around.

And while I never wanted a doodle, after a short time… he became an important part of my life.
The last few months he declined rapidly… and while I planned to have him pass at home on Friday… I guess he was ready sooner.

He had a seizure when I got home after work Wednesday and I called the vet… immediately they told me to bring him in. He looked so bright in the backseat this last time.

I brought his bed. And I stayed with him for the last hour of his life. No final sock. No final puppy patty. Just me and him. He was the goodest boy.

I will miss him forever.
