Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic and Podesta Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Institute have adopted California-based Myoscience’s Iovera system.
“In my practice I strive to offer my patients options that are the least invasive to their bodies and lives as possible,” said Luga Podesta, MD, of the Podesta Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Institute. “This procedure uses the simple power of cold in a very high-tech, precise way to essentially block specific nerve signals temporarily and deliver immediate pain relief.”
Jeff Gold, CEO of Myoscience, said he’s pleased to see that value is being placed in the company’s treatment.
“The Iovera system gives physicians and patients a unique option to address peripheral nerve pain in a very targeted, safe way harnessing the natural power of cold to temporarily stop nerves from signaling and to deliver immediate pain relief without systemic medication,” he said.
