Neurocryoanalgesia is a minimally invasive technique for pain management based on the use of low temperatures to temporarily interrupt the transmission of pain signals through peripheral nerves.
The main advantage of this technique is the possibility of reducing pain without necessarily relying on analgesic medications, with an effect that can last over time. Nerve fibers progressively regenerate, therefore the treatment can be repeated when necessary.
Cryoanalgesia is effective in the treatment of pain associated with various orthopedic conditions. It is used for knee pain related to nerve inflammation and in patients who have undergone knee arthroplasty. It can also help reduce pain in the lumbar region of the spine, the lower limbs, diabetic and peripheral neuropathies, and phantom pain following amputations.
It is also effective in the treatment of Morton’s neuroma, heel pain, shoulder pain, sacroiliac joint pain, cluneal neuralgia, obturator neuritis, and chest wall pain associated with injuries such as rib fractures. It can also be used to treat abdominal and pelvic pain related to orthopedic conditions, as well as craniofacial pain, such as pain resulting from joint or bone injuries in the head and neck region.
Cryoanalgesia is a safe and effective method for the immediate relief of pain. At Bisturmed Medical Center, we provide:
