Cryoneurolysis Rehab Clinic

This service focuses on the specialized assessment and management of spasticity using cryoneurolysis.

This is a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist service that provides assessment and treatment for people who cannot relax their limbs because of involuntary muscle tightness or spasms (spasticity). Patients who attend this clinic also have tried other treatments like botulinum toxin with no success and are open to looking at a different procedure to manage spasticity.

Cryoneurolysis is a non-surgical procedure used to reduce pain or muscle tightness (spasticity). It works by freezing and temporarily disabling specific nerves. This appointment is with a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist. 
Examples of diagnoses seen in this clinic include:

  • stroke
  • brain Injury
  • cerebral palsy
  • spinal cord injury
