Arm Pain
Arm pain can be felt in the upper arm, elbow, or forearm and may come from muscles, tendons, joints, or irritated nerves.
Lifting, gripping, or repetitive work can leave the arm sore long after the task is done.

How High-Pressure Cryotherapy (HPC) may help
High-Pressure Cryotherapy (HPC) uses high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO₂) to rapidly cool the skin over a specific treatment area. For arm pain, the treatment area is the sore part of the arm. HPC may help with pain and inflammation in that area. The recommended regimen is usually 4 to 5 sessions, then we reassess together. Many patients report relief after one or two visits, although individual responses may vary. Arm pain can start in more than one place. HPC treats the sore area, and for many people it may help manage pain and inflammation.
Every treatment begins with a free consultation. Typical treatment takes about 3–6 minutes per area. HPC is not a substitute for medical care and does not replace a diagnosis.
