Iovera
How it Works
Treatment
The iovera° treatment uses focused cold therapy to provide targeted pain relief. It works by applying extreme cold to a specific nerve, creating a small ice ball under the skin.
Process
This process temporarily stops the nerve from sending pain signals to the brain through a mechanism called Wallerian degeneration. The effect is temporary, as the nerve regenerates over time, restoring normal function without causing permanent damage.
Immediate Pain Relief
This innovative approach offers immediate pain relief and is commonly used for conditions like osteoarthritis or post-surgical pain management.
