Specialized Pain Relief in Denmark

Lasting relief for back, joint, and post-surgical pain.

We use ultrasound-guided Cryoneurolysis, a precise, evidence-based intervention that provides sustained pain relief by creating a temporary nerve conduction block through controlled cooling.

Welcome to Copenhagen Cryo Center

We specialize in ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis — an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that deactivates overactive pain nerves using controlled cold energy. Our goal is simple: restore comfort, movement, and quality of life for patients with nerve-related pain conditions.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, living with chronic pain, or preparing for an upcoming operation, our approach is tailored to help you feel better faster — without dependence on strong medications.

Preoperative Cryoneurolysis: Pain Relief Before Surgery

We are proud to be the only clinic in Scandinavia offering preoperative ultrasound-guided cryoneurolysis for patients 1–2 weeks before surgery.

This innovative treatment helps ensure a pain-free postoperative period, enabling smoother rehabilitation and a faster, more comfortable recovery.

If you want to avoid heavy reliance on opioids after surgery, call us today to book your appointment.

Our Approach

How We Treat Pain

Cryoneurolysis is a cutting-edge treatment that applies controlled cold to nerves that transmit pain. The cold creates a conduction block by forming ice crystals that alter the nerve structure and stop the transmission of pain signals. This effect is similar to a local anesthetic but lasts much longer.

Why Patients Choose Copenhagen Cryo Center

  • Minimally Invasive

    Cryoneurolysis requires only a small skin puncture. No incision or general anesthesia is needed, which means minimal tissue impact and faster recovery.
  • Outpatient Care

    The treatment is completed during a single clinic visit. Patients come in, receive care, and return home the same day without hospital admission.
  • Ultrasound Guided

    Real-time imaging ensures precise placement next to the target nerve and improves both safety and effectiveness.
  • Evidence-Based Relief

    Clinical studies show that Cryoneurolysis can provide lasting relief from chronic pain while reducing the need for ongoing medication.
  • Specialized Pain Center

    Copenhagen Cryo Center focuses exclusively on chronic pain, post-surgical pain, and spastic paresis related to conditions.
  • Unique In Denmark

    Founded in 2014, we are the only clinic in Denmark offering ultrasound guided Cryoneurolysis, as well as advanced treatments for spasticity.
  • Opioid-Free Approach

    We treat chronic pain without using opioids such as morphine or related drugs.
  • Quality Of Life Focus

    Our goal is to help people with chronic or acute pain and spastic paresis live with less pain and greater independence.
