Iovera® Treatment for Knee Pain

Get up to 90 days of pain relief with targeted cold therapy

Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic condition of the joints.


The ioveraº system is a novel, FDA-cleared drug-free treatment that alleviates pain through a mechanism known as cryoneurolysis, which applies intensely focused cold therapy to a specific nerve to interrupt its ability to transmit a pain signal. Results can be felt immediately after ioveraº treatment with pain relief that can last up to three months, and in some cases longer, as the nerve regenerates over time.



How does iovera° work?


iovera° freezes the nerves that are sending pain signals to your brain. Your doctor is able to target the exact nerves that are causing your pain. This effect is not permanent—it lasts about 90 days.



How long will the results from iovera° treatment last?


iovera° treatment targets specific nerves, so the pain relief is focused only on the part of the body that is being treated. One treatment with iovera° can last up to 90 days.



Who is a candidate for iovera° treatment?


iovera° is an option for people who are experiencing osteoarthritis pain in the knee or shoulder. It can also be given before or after knee replacement surgery to make recovery easier and less painful. Or iovera° can relieve your pain if you are not a candidate for surgery.
