Basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) is an emerging procedural option for a specific and often undertreated cause of chronic back pain: discogenic, or vertebral endplate pain. This episode covers the science behind the procedure, how to identify appropriate candidates, what outcomes patients can realistically expect, and the risks involved. Dr. Bates shares clinical pearls from his own experience mastering BVNA in practice, making this episode especially valuable for clinicians considering adding the procedure and for patients exploring their interventional options.
