This procedure targets the basivertebral nerve located within the vertebral body, which, once ablated, has been shown to provide long-term pain relief and improve physical function.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The procedure is performed through less than a \u00bc-inch incision preserving low back muscles. The procedure also has a very short recovery and fast return to work and physical activity. This procedure has more rapid recovery times than minimally invasive spine surgeries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6
