Knee pain

I just learned about a new technique to treat chronic knee pain from a company called Myoscience, a local Redwood City company.  They have developed an instrument called iovera, which uses cryotherapy, a form of freezing the nerves which causes no permanent damage, and creates numbness and pain relief for up to a few months at a time.  Currently lateral and anterior knee pain can be treated with this device.  It is an outpatient treatment performed under local anesthesia.  I welcome any questions and potential patients for this exciting new treatment.  I invite you to view their website: http://myoscience.com/?location=usa
