Cryoneurolysis may offer relief for the following forms of chronic pain after surgery or trauma:

Post-thoracotomy Pain

Persistent nerve-related pain after thoracic surgery, often involving intercostal nerve injury.

Pain After Rib Fractures

Chronic or subacute pain due to intercostal nerve irritation or healing-related mechanical compression.

Neuromas After Surgery

Abnormal nerve regrowth causing sharp or burning pain at previous surgical sites (e.g., amputation, mastectomy, abdominal wall).

Phantom Pain / Stump Pain

Pain sensations from a missing limb or body part (phantom) or the residual limb itself (stump), often due to nerve dysfunction or neuroma formation.

Pain After Mastectomy (Breast Cancer Surgery)

Persistent nerve pain, burning, or sensitivity in the chest wall or underarm area following breast surgery, often related to intercostal or intercostobrachial nerve irritation.

Unlike medications that treat the whole body or invasive surgeries that involve cutting or cauterizing nerves, cryoneurolysis:

• Targets only the problematic sensory nerves
• Preserves motor function and surrounding tissues
• Offers months of relief with a single outpatient treatment
• Is performed using live ultrasound guidance for maximum precision

Most patients can return to daily activities the same day with minimal discomfort.

Surgery and trauma are supposed to lead to healing — but when pain lingers, it can limit your return to full activity and quality of life. Cryoneurolysis offers a focused, modern solution to restore relief and function.

Explore the individual conditions listed above or book a consultation to learn whether cryoneurolysis is right for you.
