Pain Relief with Iovera

When pain or dysfunction in your knee keeps you from doing the things you love most, it is important to seek care that is personalized for you. The experts at the Orthopedic Institute at Saint Francis make specialized plans for patients to reach their treatment goals. Iovera is a noninvasive procedure that reduces pain in the knee. It can lead to extended pain relief following knee surgery and allow for more progressive results in physical therapy.

Iovera is a procedure, like an injection, without medications that uses cold to temporarily shut down some of the nerves responsible for pain around the knee. It is used to treat various knee problems. Iovera can be used for patients who are unable to have surgery, and to help patients before surgery in reducing pain after their procedure. It can be a valuable part of ongoing efforts to reduce opioid use in our community.
