Bursitis
Bursitis is inflammation of the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
Pain and swelling around a joint, especially when you lean on it or move it over and over, can make everyday motion uncomfortable.

How High-Pressure Medical Cryotherapy may fit
High-Pressure Medical Cryotherapy (HPMC) uses high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO₂) to rapidly cool the skin over a specific treatment area. Patients often seek HPMC for bursitis-related pain and inflammation. It may help manage symptoms; results vary.
Every treatment begins with a consultation. Typical treatment takes about 3–6 minutes per area. HPMC is not a substitute for medical care and does not replace a diagnosis.
