Kriolezja, czyli wymrażanie nerwów

Cryolysis is a procedure that involves freezing the nerves responsible for transmitting pain impulses. During this process, a specialist uses a probe to locally freeze a selected area of ​​the nerve, blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This effect is temporary and reversible, meaning that the nerve returns to its normal function after some time. Cryolysis - INDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE Indications for cryolysis include all types of chronic pain syndromes, especially in patients for whom pharmacological treatment and rehabilitation have not yielded the desired results. Examples of conditions that cryotherapy can provide relief include: • joint pain in patients with contraindications to surgery • degenerative joint disease • joint pain • postoperative pain • post-traumatic pain • disc herniation • enthesopathy • neuralgia Cryotherapy is used to treat various types of joint pain, including hip, knee, and sacroiliac pain. By blocking the conduction of nerve impulses, cryotherapy can provide patients with pain relief and improve their mobility. CRYOLOGY PROCEDURE AT ORTHO SPORT CLINIC WARSAW - RESULTS After cryotherapy, patients often experience a significant reduction in pain intensity. The analgesic effect of the procedure can last from several months to several years, providing patients with long-term pain relief. Moreover, cryolysis performed at Ortho Sport Clinic Warsaw is a reversible procedure, meaning it does not damage the nerve structure, and patients can opt for repeat treatments if necessary. Thanks to cryolysis, patients can relieve pain using more natural and less invasive methods than surgical or pharmacological treatments. CRYOLESSION - WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM NERVE FREEZING TREATMENT? Cryolysis can be used on a wide range of patients suffering from chronic joint and spine pain. People experiencing joint pain associated with degenerative diseases, injuries, or pain syndromes may be candidates for cryolysis. Furthermore, those suffering from back pain caused by disc herniation, sciatica, or other spinal conditions can also benefit from this innovative treatment at Ortho Sport Clinic Warsaw. CRYOLESSION – PROCEDURE The cryolesion procedure at the Warsaw clinic is performed under ultrasound guidance, ensuring the precise location of the damaged nerve. The doctor inserts a freezing probe through a cannula (venflon) into the skin and paralyzes the nerve in several, usually two or three, freezing cycles. Carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide is used for cryolesion. Both gases are continuously present within the probe, eliminating the risk of adverse reactions due to these gases in the patient. The procedure requires no special preparation and can be performed in a regular doctor's office. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the nerve being frozen, the number of nerves being frozen, and their anatomical location, but typically takes approximately 40 minutes per nerve. Cryolesion can be performed at multiple locations during a single procedure, if the patient's condition allows. The physician performing the cryolesion procedure always decides on the number of nerves to be frozen. A follow-up visit should take place after approximately two months, and until then, overloading the treated area should be avoided. KNEE CRYOLESSION The knee cryolesion procedure at Ortho Sport Clinic Warsaw is performed by a specialist using a cryoprobe. The patient is administered local anesthesia, and then a probe is placed on the selected joint area, freezing the nerve responsible for transmitting pain impulses. SPINE CRYOLESSION WARSAW Back pain, whether caused by intervertebral disc problems or joint degeneration, can be effectively relieved with cryolesion. By blocking the conduction of nerve impulses, the patient can experience significant pain relief and an improved quality of life. Spine cryolesion is performed similarly to joint surgery. The specialist uses a cryoprobe to locally freeze the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals from the spine. CRYOLESSION FOR "FROZEN SHOULDER" Frozen shoulder, or stiff shoulder, is pain and limited movement in the shoulder joint. It is a condition in which the shoulder becomes stiff and painful, often occurring after an injury or without an apparent cause. Cryolesion of the shoulder joint is highly effective – nearly 80% of patients experience complete or significant pain relief. #orthopedics #orthopedist #treatments #cryolesion #nervereduction #grzegorzsobieraj @orthosportclinicpoland www.orthosportclinic.pl
