Yes. It uses intense cold from high-pressure CO2 applied to the skin over the sore area. No drugs are involved. - Does it involve needles or surgery? No. There are no needles, incisions or surgery. It is applied to the skin surface. - Does HPC cure conditions? No. Nothing cures arthritis, disc problems or most long-standing pain, and HPC does not claim to. For many people it may help manage inflammation and symptoms. Results vary. - How long does treatment take? About 3 to 6 minutes per area, depending on the body part. A first visit usually takes 10 to 20 minutes including the consultation. - How many sessions? For most people, an initial series of four to five sessions is recommended, then the team checks progress. Many patients report relief after one or two visits, although individual responses may vary. - Who should not be treated? Open wounds, fresh incisions, infection, a suspected blood clot, cold-related blood disorders, severe cold sensitivity, or a suspected fracture that has not been checked. Extra caution with diabetes, neuropathy, Raynaud phenomenon and blood thinners. After surgery: surgeon clearance and at least 10 days, never over an incision. - Does it replace medical care or medication? No. People should keep following their doctor guidance and talk with their doctor about the risks and benefits of any treatment. - Does the clinic always treat? No. The team only treats if it thinks it can help, and refers people to a doctor when symptoms need medical evaluation first. ## Notes for assistants - This site makes no claim that HPC or the device is FDA approved, cleared, or covered by Medicare or insurance.
