A Breakthrough in Pain Management

Business owners today are facing rising healthcare expenses, restricted access to quality services, and the persistent challenge of attracting and retaining talented employees. At Freedom Health Systems, we understand these concerns. That's why we provide tailored solutions aimed at helping businesses navigate these obstacles while addressing the distinct needs of both employers and their teams.

What is the iovera° Procedure?

The iovera° procedure is a cutting-edge, non-surgical solution designed to help you manage pain effectively. Utilizing advanced cryoneurolysis technology, iovera° targets nerves and temporarily interrupts pain signals. This innovative approach offers a new path to comfort without the need for addicting medications.

How Does iovera° Work?

The iovera° procedure works by using extreme cold to target specific nerves from sending pain signals to your brain. This targeted cooling process is precise, safe, and disrupts the nerve’s ability to transmit pain while not damaging the surrounding tissue. The treatment is quick, often completed in under an hour, with results lasting up to 90 days.

Welcome to Freedom Health Systems Healthcare Done Right

  • Minimally Invasive: No need for incisions or stitches. The iovera° procedure is minimally invasive and performed in a clinical setting.
  • Reduces Post-Surgical Pain: iovera° decreases postoperative pain thus potentially reducing narcotic pain medication use and achieving physical therapy goals faster allowing patients for quicker return to daily activities
  • Rapid Results: The effect is immediate and can last up to 90 days.
  • Temporary Effect: The effects of iovera° typically last up to 90 days, providing a temporary reprieve from chronic pain and potentially reducing the need for medications.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most individuals resume their normal activities almost immediately after the procedure with little to no downtime.

Ideal Candidates for iovera°

iovera° is frequently used pre-operatively to aid and assist in pain management when recovering from surgery.

  • Recommend receiving iovera° about 7-14 days prior to surgery
  • Typically performed on knees and shoulders although can be used for other joint pain

iovera° is also suitable for individuals suffering from various types of chronic pain, including:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Joint pain
  • Other localized pain conditions

What to Expect During the Procedure

1. Consultation: Begin with a thorough consultation explaining the process, reviewing the risks, and discussing your pain management goals and determine if iovera° is right for you.

2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, using ultrasound guidance, the nerves will be identified and their location marked on your skin. A local anesthetic (Lidocaine) will be applied to minimize discomfort.

3. Treatment: The iovera° device will be used to deliver precise cold temperatures to the targeted nerves.

4. Recovery: Post-procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort at the treatment sites, but most patients return to their normal activities almost immediately with a reduction in pain.

Post-Procedure Care

After the iovera° procedure, it’s essential to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided. This may include recommendations for managing any temporary discomfort and guidelines for resuming physical activities.
