Cryoablation: The New Era of Pain-Free Knee Treatment
Finding effective, long-lasting relief is a top priority for people with chronic knee pain, especially those with arthritis or those facing joint replacement. At Tarabichi Joint Care, we understand this journey.
That’s why we are at the forefront of a groundbreaking advancement in pain management: Cryoablation for knee pain. This innovative technique, pioneered in our Enhanced Recovery Institute, is changing the landscape of knee pain treatment and offering a truly pain-free knee replacement experience.
What is Knee Cryoablation?
As a minimally invasive procedure, cryoablation—or the nerve cooling technique for knee surgeries—uses extreme cold to temporarily disable the nerves that transmit pain signals from the knee to the brain.
The procedure is simple and efficient. A doctor uses a thin needle called a cryoprobe, which is guided precisely to the targeted nerves around the knee using ultrasound technology. Once in position, the cryoprobe applies extreme cold, typically between -20°C and -100°C, creating a small ice ball that freezes the nerve.
This temporary disruption prevents the nerve from transmitting pain signals without causing permanent damage. After several months, the nerves will regenerate, and the treatment can be repeated if necessary.
This innovative approach is a safe and highly effective alternative to traditional pain management, offering both immediate and lasting relief. For those seeking non-surgical knee pain treatment, cryoablation can be a significant step toward improving quality of life without the need for a major operation.

The Tarabichi Joint Care Difference: A Pioneering Approach for Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatment
At Tarabichi Joint Care, our commitment to patient well-being led us to introduce a revolutionary pain management program.
Under the leadership of Dr. Mohamed Elfekky, Director of the Tarabichi Joint Care Enhanced Recovery Institute, we’ve launched a painless joint surgery program featuring a “world-first” nerve cooling technique.
This groundbreaking scientific development uses a specialized cryoprobe to cool peripheral nerves to -40°C. This targeted cooling temporarily disrupts pain signals, ensuring a comfortable, pain-free recovery journey.
This advancement is part of our comprehensive Enhanced Recovery Institute in Dubai, the first of its kind in the region. We use advanced technologies such as robotic surgery, computer navigation, and 3D printing to ensure precision and a comfortable patient experience.
Why Choose Cryoablation for Knee Replacement?
Cryoablation can provide at least 90 days of relief for chronic knee pain caused by conditions like osteoarthritis, improving mobility and reducing the need for pain medication. It’s an excellent option for those with light to moderate knee osteoarthritis or who are not candidates for surgery.
The benefits are particularly significant for those preparing for or recovering from a total knee replacement. Cryoablation for knee replacement is performed before the surgery to block pain signals preemptively. This can lead to:
- A shorter hospital stay.
- Less discomfort in the weeks following the surgery.
- A reduced need for strong pain medications in the months of recovery.
- Improved mobility and function, enabling you to start physical therapy sooner and more comfortably.
This nerve cooling technique ensures that the six-month recovery journey following knee surgery is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
What to Expect After Cryoablation for Knee Pain?
Knee cryoneurolysis is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. It is relatively quick and painless. There are no incisions, and recovery is much faster than other surgical procedures.
You can expect to get back to your normal activities within a few days of the procedure. You may experience minor, temporary side effects like bruising, swelling, tingling, or numbness, but these usually go away on their own. The full effects of the pain relief are often felt almost immediately.
At Tarabichi Joint Care, the journey to a healthier, more active life should not be overshadowed by pain. Our innovative cryoablation technique in Dubai provides a powerful tool for managing pain, enhancing recovery, and restoring your well-being.
