BVNA: Innovative Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain
Long-lasting relief from chronic lower back pain
BVNA (basivertebral nerve ablation) is a cutting-edge, outpatient treatment designed to alleviate chronic low back pain by targeting and ablating the basivertebral nerve, which is responsible for vertebrogenic pain.
Ablation involves using radiofrequency energy to heat and disable the basivertebral nerve. By ablating the nerve, we interrupt the pain signals transmitted by the nerve, providing significant relief without affecting other bodily functions, as this nerve is not involved in movement or other sensory perceptions.
Vertebral Damage
The underlying cause of vertebral damage, such as degenerative disc disease, is often incurable. Therefore, the BVNA focuses on treating the symptoms—specifically, the pain—by stopping the nerve’s ability to send pain signals. This approach offers the best possible outcome, significantly improving the quality of life for patients by managing the chronic pain associated with vertebral damage.
BVNA
Benefits:
Minimally Invasive
Performed through a small incision, reducing recovery time and risk of complications.
Long-term Pain Relief
Provides sustained pain relief by directly targeting the source of vertebrogenic pain.
Outpatient Procedure
Typically completed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to return home the same day.

Next Generation Precision
The procedure utilizes advanced access instruments, ensuring precise targeting of the basivertebral nerve and effective treatment outcomes.
- Accessing the Pedicle: A channel is created to the basivertebral nerve through a small incision.
- Placement of RF Probe: A radiofrequency (RF) probe is precisely placed in the channel.
- Nerve Ablation: The basivertebral nerve is ablated using radiofrequency energy, disrupting pain signals.
Post-Procedure Care
Patients can expect a brief recovery period, with most resuming normal activities within a few days. Follow-up care includes monitoring and managing any residual symptoms to ensure optimal recovery.
Bringing BVNA to Europe
We are proud to offer the innovative BVNA to our patients, marking a significant milestone as the first provider in Europe to bring this groundbreaking treatment across the Atlantic. This procedure, which has rapidly gained traction in the United States with hundreds of clinicians already offering it, targets vertebrogenic pain with a minimally invasive approach. BVNA has been extensively validated by clinical evidence and is now accessible to patients in Germany and beyond, providing a much-needed solution for those suffering from chronic low back pain.
