About Dr. Parker

Is this too good to be true?

What’s my First Step?

Cryosurgery has been around for many years in the pain management world as a method of controlling chronic pain associated with nerve pathology.  In the foot, this may take the form of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, neuromas or painful nerve entrapments from previous surgery or injuries. Cryosurgery can also be used as an adjunct therapy in the management of peripheral neuropathies.

The technique involves placing a small probe at the site of discomfort that freezes the nerves to very low temperatures (4-6 minutes) using compressed nitrous oxide.  This results in degeneration of the nerve and the cessation of painful nerve signals.  This is a pain
management tool that can
provide complete relief for up to 2

years.  The procedure can be

repeated if pain returns.
