Tahoe Forest Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Offers New Approach to Managing Knee Pain

Tahoe Forest Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, a service of Tahoe Forest Health System, announces they are now offering the iovera° cold nerve ablation, an innovative approach to blocking pain, as part of their standard of care. The iovera° is an FDA-approved, non-opioid treatment that alleviates knee pain through targeted cold therapy.

The technology, known as cryoanalgesia, interrupts your nerves’ ability to transmit a pain signal, resulting in decreased knee pain, less stiffness, and improved physical function. This treatment is ideal for reducing pain after knee surgery, chronic pain from osteoarthritis, and non-narcotic pain relief.

Our skilled orthopedic professionals offer extensive, state-of-the-art surgical and nonsurgical care, including acute care for fractures, sports medicine services, and elective joint replacement. The latest techniques are used in knee, hip, and shoulder joint replacement and pain control, allowing our patients to recover faster, be discharged sooner, and get back to enjoying life.
