The Disc Biacuplasty Procedure
The biacuplasty procedure was developed in order to treat individuals suffering from chronic discogenic back pain originating from annular fissures or contained disc herniations. Patients with chronic discogenic pain who have attempted pain relief with medications and injections without adequate attenuation of pain may be good candidates for this procedure.
This biacuplasty procedure is a minimally invasive percutaneous procedure which uses internally cooled radiofrequency probes to lesion the nociceptors in the intervertebral disc.
