5 reasons to consider this non-drug treatment for joint pain

Yep, you may have just found the long-term relief you’ve been looking for — so you can get back to doing the things you love. | Photo provided by Pacira BioSciences
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 may turn to over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers, physical therapy, ice and elevation, corticosteroids, or opioids, these options can fail to provide extended relief.

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°? Find a local doctor offering this innovative pain relief treatment to see if iovera° is right for you.

See Broad Street in a new way
NOOGAtoday | Park(ing) Day

When you see an empty parking space, your first thought is probably, “Can my car fit?” However, for the designers, artists, residents, and business owners on PARK(ing) Day, an empty spot is a blank canvas to create a place for community engagement.

We’re talking about pop-up parks + places for art, play, and activism.

PARK(ing) Day will be celebrated across the globe on Friday, Sept. 20. Locally, the Chattanooga Design Studio will host the event on Broad Street (between 6th + 8th Streets), which will feature 50 parklets — aka tiny parks in each parking space.

This year’s theme: “The Parklet of Your Dreams. ” Attendees can explore the different parklets free of charge from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pro tip: If you were hoping to park on Broad this day, it may be wise to plan for elsewhere.
