Learn About Specialized Procedures
The Intracept procedure is a specialized treatment offered for individuals suffering from chronic vertebral low back pain. It is the only procedure specifically designed to target the basivertebral nerve, which is believed to be a significant contributor to this type of pain. The procedure involves the insertion of a specialized radiofrequency probe into the vertebral body, precisely targeting and interrupting the basivertebral nerve signals. This disruption helps to alleviate pain and improve overall function. The Intracept procedure is minimally invasive, performed under fluoroscopic guidance, and offers a potential alternative for patients who have not responded to conservative treatments. Our expert team evaluates each patient’s condition to determine if the Intracept procedure is appropriate, providing personalized care and aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals experiencing chronic vertebral low back pain.
The Minuteman procedure is an innovative treatment offered for individuals suffering from back and leg pain caused by spinal degeneration. It provides a less invasive alternative to fusion procedures. During the Minuteman procedure, a specialized implant, along with bone graft material, is placed in the affected area of the spine. This implant helps stabilize the spinal segment and promotes fusion, reducing pain and improving overall function. The Minuteman procedure offers several advantages, including shorter operative time, reduced hospital stay, and faster recovery time compared to traditional fusion procedures. Our expert team evaluates each patient’s condition to determine if the Minuteman procedure is appropriate, providing personalized care and aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals with spinal degeneration-related pain.
Mild® is a breakthrough treatment available at Idaho Pain Group for individuals suffering from Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS). LSS is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to compression of the nerves in the lower back. The Mild procedure is a minimally invasive option that aims to alleviate symptoms and improve mobility. During the procedure, a specialized device is used to remove excess tissue and create more space within the spinal canal, relieving pressure on the nerves. The Mild procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically requires no hospital stay. It offers significant benefits such as quick recovery, reduced pain, and improved functionality. Our expert team evaluates each patient’s condition to determine if the Mild procedure is suitable, providing personalized care and helping individuals with LSS regain their quality of life.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an advanced pain management technique used to alleviate chronic pain that has not responded to other treatments. It involves the implantation of a small device, similar to a pacemaker, near the spinal cord. The device delivers mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord, blocking pain signals from reaching the brain and replacing them with a tingling sensation known as paresthesia. This paresthesia helps to reduce or mask the perception of pain. The intensity and location of the electrical impulses can be adjusted by the patient or healthcare professional to provide optimal pain relief. Spinal cord stimulation is commonly used for conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, and neuropathic pain. It offers a reversible and adjustable option for managing chronic pain, improving overall function, and enhancing quality of life for many individuals.
Nerve stimulators, also known as neurostimulation devices, are advanced medical devices used in pain management to alleviate chronic pain by delivering electrical impulses to specific nerves or areas of the spinal cord. These devices work by interrupting or modulating the pain signals that are transmitted to the brain, providing relief for conditions such as chronic back pain, neuropathic pain, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Nerve stimulators are typically implanted during a minor surgical procedure and can be programmed and adjusted according to the patient’s individual needs. They offer a non-invasive alternative to medication-based pain management, providing long-term pain relief and improving overall quality of life for many patients.
Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Therapy is an innovative treatment option offered at our Pain Management Clinic for individuals experiencing chronic pain, particularly in the limbs. DRG Therapy targets the dorsal root ganglion, a cluster of nerve cells responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. By utilizing neuromodulation techniques, such as spinal cord stimulation, electrical pulses are delivered to the specific dorsal root ganglion associated with the patient’s pain. This therapy offers precise pain relief, often superior to traditional treatments. It can effectively manage conditions like complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and more. Our expert team evaluates each patient to determine if DRG Therapy is a suitable option, ensuring personalized care and improved quality of life.

The LinQ procedure is a specialized therapy offered at Idaho Pain Group for individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It involves the placement of a small bone allograft into the sacroiliac joint to stabilize it. The bone allograft helps promote the natural healing and fusion of the joint, reducing pain and improving function. This minimally invasive procedure is performed under fluoroscopic guidance, ensuring precise placement of the allograft. The LinQ procedure provides long-term stability and relief for patients experiencing chronic sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction. Our expert team evaluates each patient’s condition to determine if the LinQ procedure is a suitable option, offering personalized care and improved quality of life.
