Alternative to Cryoablation Therapy in Seattle & Bellevue, WA by Dr. Jason Attaman
Cryoablation is an established pain-relieving treatment modality that has been in use for decades. It works well for some difficult-to-treat nerve pain, such as intercostal neuralgia, pudendal neuralgia, cluneal neuralgia. Unfortunately, the machines are difficult to use and maintain for clinics. Patients also find the procedure painful and the resulting numbness to be very bothersome.
We used to offer cryoablation but due to the above factors no longer offer it. We have better alternatives to cryoablation that are not nearly as painful and do not result in the long term numbness, such as pulsed radiofrequency treatment and platelet lysate hydrodissection of nerves. Both of these treatments help the nerves to function better while also relieving pain, instead of killing the nerves.
If you have been considering cryoablation, contact us for a consult for a better alternative.
