OIO proudly congratulates Dr. Bret M. Bahn on being designated as an Intracept® Procedure Center of Excellence – a recognition that highlights his expertise and commitment to providing advanced, evidence-based care for patients with chronic vertebrogenic low back pain.

The Intracept® Procedure targets the basivertebral nerve (BVN), which carries pain signals from damaged vertebral endplates to the brain. By stopping these pain signals, the procedure offers a minimally invasive, proven solution for patients who have struggled with chronic low back pain that hasn’t improved with traditional treatments.

Dr. Bahn’s achievement marks a major milestone for spine care in our region – making OIO one of only four Centers of Excellence in Ohio and the first in Northwest Ohio. This designation recognizes physicians who have demonstrated exceptional experience and success with the Intracept® Procedure, helping patients find lasting relief and improved function.

“It’s an honor to be recognized as a Center of Excellence for the Intracept® Procedure,” said Dr. Bahn. “We’ve seen life-changing results for patients who have lived with chronic low back pain for years. Helping them return to their normal routines and activities pain-free is incredibly rewarding.”

Patients can see Dr. Bahn at our Findlay location, where he provides comprehensive spine and orthopaedic care – including evaluation and treatment for vertebrogenic pain and other spinal conditions.
