It works by targeting specific small nerves that carry pain signals. These nerves are not needed for Local anaesthetic is given before the treatment to make it comfortable. Precise cold treatment is then applied to these nerves with a special hand piece. The treatment prevents the nerve from transmitting pain signals by causing thermal temporary damage to the nerve. The effect lasts until the nerve regenerates back to normal. The treatment is not painful but odd sensations can be felt at the site of treatment.
The effect of the treatment is immediate and lasts for about 90 days and sometimes longer. Patients feel less pain, less stiffness and usually have improved function.
