One of our experienced anesthesiologists works with one of our local affiliate offices, like your chiropractor or medical spa, to provide you with knee pain relief. Ask your chiropractor or medical spa if they offer Knee Freeze®. If they do not, have them contact us to get set up!
Alternatively, we offer a premium concierge service in select areas to provide you Knee Freeze® in the privacy of your own home. Interested? Simply contact us here to get set up.
Yes, Knee Freeze® is very different. Unlike steroid and other injections, nothing gets permanently deposited into the body. These chemicals can have side effects with frustratingly little benefit. Knee Freeze®, however, is just a needle that gets cold. That’s it! No chemicals, and the effect is immediate.
The best results from Knee Freeze® occur for patients with chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis, the normal wear and tear the knee experiences with age. Some patients choose to get Knee Freeze® for pain relief before or after a scheduled knee surgery. But Knee Freeze® is also great for patients who don’t want or aren’t candidates for surgery. Knee Freeze® is contraindicated for patients with:
hypersensitivity to cold, including Raynaud’s disease, cryoglobulinemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, and cold urticaria
an open wound, active infection, or abnormal growth of the treatment area
conditions that affect the central processing of pain, like Fibromyalgia
peripheral pain syndromes, like CPRS
Nope! The treatment needle goes in, gets cold, then comes out. Other than some local anesthetic to numb the treatment area, there is nothing injected into the body.
No. A numbing spray is applied to the treatment area before a small amount of local anesthetic is injected to further numb the area. Most patients just feel some pressure, cold, warmth, or tingling during the actual procedure.
A needle gets cold enough to stop the nerves in your knee from sending pain signals to the brain without permanently injuring the nerve.
A licensed, experienced anesthesiologist (medical doctor) who specializes in ultrasound-guided nerve procedures.
Yes! Knee Freeze® is safe enough for you to experience immediate pain relief in both knees during the same appointment.
The procedure only takes about 15 minutes per knee. Expect your appointment to last up to 45 minutes.
Pain relief is immediate! We will know if it is working before you leave the procedure room.
At Knee Freeze® we pride ourselves at being truthful and straightforward with our patients. We want you to have a realistic picture of what to expect after putting your health in our hands. While we cannot guarantee 100% success 100% of the time, our experienced team of doctors get amazing results for our patients:
Based on studies, pain relief can last up to 90 days. However, some individuals have reported relief for much longer.
Reduction in pain and stiffness may be partial, but expect significant improvement in movement with less or no need for pain medications.
Temporary bruising, swelling, tenderness, or warmth at the treatment area are normal.
Tingling and numbness at the treatment area can also occur, and may last as long as the pain relief itself.
Damage to the skin where the procedure is performed is possible. This includes darkening/lightening of the skin and dimples in the skin.
Muscle weakness in the legs is rare but will resolve within weeks.
At the moment we only offer Knee Freeze® to be used on knee pain. Check back in the future to see if our offers expand!
All pricing is upfront with no surprise billing after the procedure. The actual price varies depending on location, doctor availability, and whether you want Knee Freeze® on one or both knees. However, you can expect to pay at least $1100 for the procedure when visiting one of our affiliated offices. This does not include the initial consult or x-ray that may be performed by the local affiliate. Our premium, at-home concierge service starts at $1500.
Unfortunately, we are not currently accepting medical insurance, including Medicare. However, we provide you an invoice to directly bill insurance yourself.
