Are you among the one third of Tennesseans impacted by arthritis — or the many experiencing severe joint pain?
Then you know how living with chronic pain can have a significant impact on daily life, including work limitations, declining mental health, and difficulty attending social events.
While many patients may turn to over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers, physical therapy, ice and elevation, corticosteroids, or opioids, these options can fall short and fail to provide the extended relief that patients seek.
Enter: iovera° — a long-term treatment option that may provide the effective relief you’re seeking. Here’s five reasons to consider the innovative treatment:
It’s a drug-free option
iovera° offers a drug-free alternative to other injections, over-the-counter medications, or prescription drugs. This FDA-cleared handheld device delivers extreme cold to freeze the nerves responsible for pain, stopping the transmission of pain signals to the brain.
It provides immediate relief + lasting results
Upon being administered, iovera° provides immediate relief at the treatment site. Studies show that patients who received iovera° for knee pain reported continued pain relief for up to 90 days and continued to have reduced stiffness for 30 days.
It’s convenient
With iovera°, treatment sessions take about 30 minutes at a doctor’s office, and a single treatment session provides relief that can last up to 90 days.
You can return to the activities you love
Chronic pain often disrupts daily activities and can impact a patient’s mental health. A survey showed that over 90% of individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) missed social events due to pain. Studies found that patients who received iovera° reported an improved ability to complete routine tasks 90 days after treatment, allowing them to get back to the activities they love with less joint pain.
It improves surgical outcomes
Studies show that patients treated with iovera° before surgery experience less pain and greater flexibility post-surgery, making recovery smoother and quicker.
Ready to Try iovera°? If you or someone you know is managing chronic arthritis joint pain, now is the time to explore iovera° with your healthcare provider. Find a local doctor offering this innovative pain relief treatment and ask if iovera° could be the right treatment for you.
