What many patients don’t realize is that sensory nerves surrounding joints and soft tissues can become hypersensitized — continuing to send pain signals long after the underlying issue is managed. This is where cryoneurolysis offers a powerful, non-surgical option.

Commonly Affected Areas

• Knees: Osteoarthritis, meniscus injury, or joint degeneration
• Hips: Chronic inflammation or joint capsule pain
• Feet and Toes: Gout-related joint inflammation or residual nerve pain
• Shoulders: Bursitis, arthritis, or soft tissue injury

How Cryoneurolysis Helps

Even when cartilage loss or swelling improves, pain can persist due to overstimulated sensory nerves around the joint. At Barcelona Cryo Center, we use ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis to target these nerves — interrupting the pain pathway at its source.

A small, ultrasound-guided probe delivers a burst of controlled cold to the affected nerve, reducing its activity for several months while preserving nearby motor function. This helps patients regain function and comfort with fewer medications or injections.

Key Benefits:

• Minimally invasive: No surgical incisions or general anesthesia
• Safe and repeatable: Cryoneurolysis temporarily quiets nerves without destroying them
• Improved mobility: Enables more effective rehab or activity
• Reduces dependence on pain medications: Including NSAIDs and opioids

Ideal Candidates

You may benefit from cryoneurolysis if you:

• Have persistent joint pain despite physical therapy or medication
• Are not a candidate for — or wish to delay — joint surgery
• Experience nerve-related sensitivity after injury or arthritis
• Seek a non-opioid, outpatient solution for chronic pain

Find Relief from Chronic Somatic Pain

Joint and soft tissue pain can limit your ability to move, work, and live fully. Cryoneurolysis offers a nerve-targeted approach to ease discomfort and restore motion — without surgery or long recovery.
