Munson neurosurgeon uses new device to cut chronic pain for over 150 patients

Dr. Michael Musacchio, a neurosurgeon at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, Michigan, has been using a new device called the Intracept Procedure to treat chronic low back pain in over 150 patients. This innovative treatment targets the basivertebral nerve, which is responsible for transmitting pain signals from the vertebral body.
