Heal faster, move sooner, and rely less on opioids after knee, hip, or shoulder surgery.
Precision OrthoCryo® uses targeted cold therapy to quiet the nerves that cause post-surgical pain.

Cryoneurolysis uses precisely targeted cold to temporarily interrupt the pain signals from the nerves around your surgical site — before and after your procedure. Unlike opioids, it treats the source of pain directly, without affecting your ability to think, move, or heal.
The iovera° device delivers a small, controlled freeze to specific nerves in a quick in-office visit. The effect lasts up to 90 days — long enough to get you through the hardest part of recovery.
A quick in-office treatment targets the nerves around your surgical site. You arrive, get treated, and go home the same day.
Pain signals are quieted for up to 90 days — reducing your need for opioids and helping you engage more fully in physical therapy.
Patients move sooner, sleep better, and report higher satisfaction with their recovery compared to standard pain management alone.

"Before my total knee replacement, a friend recommended cryotherapy to help manage post-surgical pain. Everyone says knee replacement is no walk in the park, but honestly, my pain was very manageable from day one. I was able to control it using only Tylenol and an anti-inflammatory medication. I know every patient's experience is different, but I truly believe the cryotherapy made a significant difference in both my comfort and recovery. It helped me stay motivated during rehab, push through physical therapy, and get back to my normal activities much faster than I expected. I would highly recommend it!"

Bill Ives, PA-C brings more than 20 years of clinical experience across military and civilian medicine — from combat deployments in Iraq with the 4th Infantry Division and Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne, to humanitarian relief in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, to cardiothoracic surgery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
After retiring as a U.S. Army Major, Bill joined Sforzo | Dillingham | Stewart Orthopedics in Sarasota, where he specializes in joint replacement surgery using the Mako robotic system with generative AI. It was there — watching patients struggle through post-operative pain and leave the hospital dependent on opioids — that he founded Precision OrthoCryo.
His vision: bring the same precision and discipline he learned in combat medicine to post-surgical pain control — so every patient gets targeted, lasting relief without the risks of opioid dependency.
