What Is COOLIEF®?

This advanced radiofrequency technology precisely targets and deactivates pain-transmitting nerves, providing significantly longer-lasting relief than traditional steroid injections—up to 24 months for many patients. Unlike major surgery, COOLIEF® requires no overnight hospital stay and minimal recovery time, allowing you to return to daily activities quickly with improved mobility and reduced dependence on pain medications.

Why Consider COOLIEF®?

COOLIEF® is particularly well-suited for patients experiencing chronic moderate to severe joint pain, especially those who have found inadequate relief from conservative treatments.
It offers an excellent solution for those with knee, hip, or shoulder osteoarthritis who either aren’t candidates for surgery due to age or medical conditions, or who prefer to avoid or delay surgical intervention.
Patients with facet joint pain or sacroiliac joint dysfunction causing chronic back or neck discomfort may also benefit significantly.

What to Expect from Your COOLIEF® Appointment

Your COOLIEF® journey begins with a comprehensive consultation whereDr. Chiu evaluates your condition and determines whether you’re an ideal candidate.

On the day of your COOLIEF® procedure, expect to spend about 1-2 hours at our facility. Using advanced imaging guidance, Dr. Chiu will precisely position a specialized COOLIEF® probe near the nerves causing your pain. The procedure delivers controlled cooled radiofrequency energy that deactivates the pain-transmitting nerves without damaging surrounding tissue.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure itself. Afterward, you’ll rest briefly in our recovery area before being discharged home the same day. You’ll need someone to drive you home, and we recommend taking it easy for 24-48 hours.

While some patients notice immediate improvement, most experience gradual pain relief that develops over 2 weeks as nerve activity diminishes. Results can last for over a year.
