Interventional pain specialist, Dr. Anusha Karumuri used advanced cryoablation technology, which is carried out through a minimally invasive needle-based procedure.

Dr Anusha identified the exact pain-generating area using ultrasound guidance and performed the cryoablation therapy, which involves inserting a thin needle into the affected area and delivering extremely cold gas through it, that temporarily disables the pain-transmitting nerve cells. As a result, the patient experienced immediate relief from pain.

“The treatment does not require surgery and can be completed in a short duration. It offers long-term relief with minimal discomfort,” Dr. Anusha Karumuri.

Doctors added that cryoablation therapy can also be used to treat several other chronic pain conditions affecting different parts of the body.
