Frozen Patients - Cryoneurolysis and the reduction of spasticity and associated pain

A journey to create an entirely new procedure to combat spasticity, a leading cause of disability after neurolgical injury worldwide. Spasticity occurs after stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury, or may onset at birth due to cerebral palsy. A team at Island Health, in Victoria, BC Canada, created Dr. Paul Winston and Dr. Daniel Vincent developed this mini-invasive procedure to reduce spasticity to improve movements, restore function and reduce pain. They are training the world to perform it.

The work that Dr. Winston and his team are doing is truly wonderful. Thanks to him, new techniques that have improved the management of spasticity are beginning to be used in Peru and around the world. Thank you for sharing the video, it's incredible!

Remarkable to see this and to think this technique is making so much difference for people. So emotional thinking about it. God bless Dr. Winston’s vision and program.

Hey Paul, amazing work, can this be utilized for pudendal neuralgia?

Dr Arun kavala in Florida does this and St Paul’s in Vancouver among others x.com/kalavamd/status/1517508575484125184?s=46&t=1KXHMHBXh2GBxqpuJO7HmA

@@paulwinstonRehab thanks very much. Do you know who does this at st Paul's? I'm a physio with some patients with some severely recalcitrant pudendal neuralgia that could really benefit from this
