Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can involve the joint, rotator cuff, muscles, or tendons and can limit reaching and lifting.
Reaching overhead, putting on a jacket, or sleeping on your side can turn into things you have to think about.
About shoulder pain
The shoulder moves through a wide range of motion, which also makes it prone to overuse and irritation.
Common symptoms
- Pain with lifting or reaching overhead
- Aching at night
- Weakness or stiffness
- Clicking or catching
Common causes
- Rotator cuff irritation
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Arthritis
- Overuse or injury
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 shoulder pain and inflammation. It may help manage symptoms and support mobility; 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.
