Leave Joint Pain Out in the Cold
It's time to put the joint and nerve pain associated with osteoarthritis on ice. Dr. Raymond Weiand, board-certified orthopedic surgeon at AdventHealth Palm Coast, is now offering a non-surgical pain relief treatment for joint pain called ioverao. This leading-edge, FDA-approved treatment uses extreme cold to stop nerves from sending pain signals to the brain.
"The iovera° system is a handheld device that allows me to apply just the right amount of extreme cold only to the nerves we want to target — the ones causing pain," says Dr. Weiand. "The process takes about 30 minutes, and does not involve surgery."
Dr. Weiand says most patients feel immediate relief after the treatment. "iovera° doesn't damage any of the tissue in the treatment area," he says. "This is really a game-changer — a safe, temporary pain-relief option that brings relief quickly and can get you back in action, fast. I'm thrilled to offer it in the Flagler community."
Who can benefit from iovera° treatment?
• People who have osteoarthritis knee pain and are looking for temporary relief.
• People who are considering knee replacement surgery (can be used before surgery)
• People who have been avoiding surgery due to fear or another reason
• People who are not candidates for surgery but need pain relief
