What kind of results can I expect?
Results from the iovera
o treatment can be felt immediately after treatment. When the treatment is applied to a specific nerve, it will interrupt that nerve's ability to send a pain signal, providing an immediate reduction in pain.
How long does it last?
The duration of the pain relief lasts until the nerve has regenerated, which depends on the individual and location of the nerve being treated. In general, nerves regenerate at a rate of approximately 1mm per day

Could this replace the need for knee surgery or other therapies?
The iovera
o treatment has been performed prior to knee surgery to help reduce pain during the critical weeks
2 following surgery. The effect is temporary, helping you manage your post-surgical pain. It does not change the underlying condition for which your physician has recommended surgery or other therapies.
