Biacuplasty Procedure

What is Bipolar Intradiscal Cooled RFA & Biacuplasty?

Bipolar Intradiscal Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat chronic disc-related pain. A specialized bipolar electrode is inserted into the disc space to disrupt painful nerve fibers using controlled radiofrequency energy.

Biacuplasty is a refined form of bipolar RFA specifically designed to treat discogenic pain caused by degenerated or damaged intervertebral discs. The cooling mechanism enhances safety by protecting surrounding tissues.

Disc Treatment Imaging

Indications for Biacuplasty

Chronic Low Back Pain: Persistent pain originating from discs.

Discogenic Pain: Pain due to disc degeneration or injury.

Failed Conservative Treatments: Ineffective response to physiotherapy or medication.

Non-surgical Candidates: Patients seeking minimally invasive alternatives.

Biacuplasty Procedure

A minimally invasive and targeted approach to treat discogenic pain

1

Pre-Procedure Consultation

A detailed evaluation to confirm discogenic pain and suitability for treatment.

2

Preparation & Sedation

Local anesthesia and light sedation are administered for patient comfort.

3

Imaging Guidance

Fluoroscopy or CT scan is used to accurately place the bipolar electrode into the disc.

4

Ablation

Radiofrequency energy is applied to disrupt pain pathways while cooling protects tissues.

5

Recovery

Patients are monitored briefly and provided with post-treatment instructions.

Benefits of Biacuplasty

Effective and long-lasting relief from disc-related pain

Minimally Invasive

Outpatient procedure with minimal downtime and faster recovery.

Targeted Treatment

Directly targets painful nerve fibers inside the disc.

Long-lasting Relief

Many patients experience sustained pain reduction for months or years.

Improved Quality of Life

Enhanced mobility and reduced dependency on pain medications.

Post Treatment Care

What to Expect After the Procedure

  • Activity Restrictions: Avoid heavy physical activity for 24–48 hours.
  • Pain Response: Improvement may be seen gradually over several days or weeks.
  • Follow-Up: Scheduled reviews ensure proper healing and treatment success.
