Congress Invitation

San Diego 2026

A Message to Our Colleagues

Dear Colleagues,

Be part of history at the First International Congress on Ultrasound-Guided Cryoneurolysis in the United States, taking place October 3–4, 2026, in San Diego, California.

As the evidence supporting cryoneurolysis continues to expand, this landmark meeting will bring together international experts, researchers, and clinicians to explore the latest advances in pain management, spasticity treatment, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and peripheral nerve interventions.

As healthcare systems seek safer, more durable, and function-focused treatments, cryoneurolysis is emerging as a powerful tool to improve patient outcomes while reducing reliance on opioids.

“This is more than a conference — it is an opportunity to help define the next generation of evidence-based nerve-targeted therapies.”

We look forward to welcoming you to San Diego.

October 3–4, 2026 Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark San Diego, California
