IOVERA CRYONEUROLYSIS PAIN CONTROL THERAPY

Iovera is a non-opioid, FDA-cleared medical treatment that uses extreme cold (cryoneurolysis) via a handheld device to temporarily block pain signals from specific nerves, offering immediate relief for conditions like knee osteoarthritis (OA) or pain from knee replacement surgery, with effects lasting up to 90 days as nerves regenerate. It’s a needle-based procedure that freezes targeted nerves without permanent damage, reducing opioid reliance and improving mobility, and can also treat pain in other areas like the hip, shoulder, and spine.  

HOW IT WORKS

  • A doctor uses a handheld device to deliver precise, controlled cold to specific peripheral nerves.
  • The extreme cold temporarily stops the nerve from sending pain signals to the brain, providing immediate relief.
  • This effect is reversible, with pain relief lasting up to 90 days as the nerve regenerates.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Drug-free: It’s a non-opioid treatment.
  • Immediate relief: Patients feel pain reduction right after the procedure.
  • Reduces opioid need: Particularly helpful for post-surgery recovery.
  • Improves function: Can help with range of motion.
  • Versatile: Can treat pain in the knee, hip, shoulder, foot, ankle, and spine.

WHO IT IS FOR

  • People with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
  • Patients preparing for knee replacement surgery (often done a few weeks prior).
  • Those who cannot undergo surgery.
