The iovera° treatment uses the body’s natural response to cold to treat peripheral nerves and immediately reduce pain—without the use of drugs. Treated nerves are temporarily stopped from sending pain signals for a period of time, followed by a restoration of function. Ed Cutler, Director of Anesthesia Services, and Carmen Swertzic, former CCMH employee and knee replacement patient at CCMH, discuss how iovera improves recovery times and outcomes.
