Iovera° Treatment for Knee Pain

Chronic knee pain can significantly interfere with mobility, daily activities, and overall quality of life. For patients with osteoarthritis or those preparing for knee replacement surgery, the Iovera° treatment offers a safe, minimally invasive option to reduce pain and improve function—without the use of medications or surgery.

Iovera° uses targeted cold therapy, known as cryoneurolysis, to temporarily interrupt pain signals transmitted by specific peripheral nerves responsible for knee pain. By precisely applying controlled cold temperatures to these nerves, Iovera? reduces pain while preserving surrounding tissue.

Pain signals travel along nerves to the brain. The Iovera? system works by applying controlled cold to the sensory nerves that transmit pain from the knee. This process temporarily blocks the nerve’s ability to send pain signals, providing meaningful relief while the nerve naturally regenerates over time.

The procedure is performed in the office and typically takes 30-45 minutes. Most patients tolerate the treatment well and are able to resume normal activities shortly afterward.

Iovera° is commonly used to treat knee pain associated with osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions affecting the knee joint. Patients often experience:

    • Reduced knee pain
    • Improved mobility and function
    • Greater ability to participate in physical therapy and exercise
    • Decreased reliance on pain medications
    • Pain relief can last for several months, depending on the individual patient and underlying condition.

Iovera° is increasingly used as part of a comprehensive pre-operative plan for patients preparing for total knee replacement. By reducing pain before surgery, Iovera? can help patients:

    • Improve mobility and strength prior to surgery
    • Participate more fully in pre-habilitation programs
    • Reduce pain immediately following surgery
    • Potentially decrease the need for opioid pain medications after surgery
    • Enhance recovery and rehabilitation outcomes

This approach allows patients to enter surgery in a stronger, more functional state, which may contribute to a smoother recovery.

Iovera° may be appropriate for patients who:

    • Have chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis
    • Are planning knee replacement surgery
    • Have not achieved adequate relief from conservative treatments
    • Wish to reduce reliance on medications

Our specialists will evaluate your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
