The iovera° treatment harnesses your body’s natural response to cold to treat nerves and immediately reduce pain—without the use of drugs. The iovera° system is a hand-held device that delivers focused cold therapy to the targeted nerve via closed-end needles. The treated nerves are stopped from sending pain signals for a period of time, followed by a restoration of function.
iovera° treatment can be performed
- Prior to knee surgery to assist you in prehabilition strengthening exercises
- Closer to the time of surgery to help reduce pain during surgery and pain in the critical weeks following surgery
- For patients experiencing chronic osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain to relieve pain associated with OA of the knee for up to 90 days
Please schedule a consult with Dr. Cole to decide if treatment would be fit for you!
