PRLog -- Whether from tennis, throwing sports (e.g., baseball, softball, football, etc.), or arthroscopic surgery, shoulder pain can be a persistent and unpleasant experience. Prolonged discomfort or repeated injury commonly leads patients to surgery and then into extensive physical therapy, and the outcomes are widely recognized as worthwhile by medical professionals. The National Institutes of Health recommends the standard RICE formula (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) as part of shoulder injury recovery, but the standard ice packs or frozen vegetable approaches are seldom as effective as they could be nor are they convenient enough to promote sustained compliance.
Our new bundle combining the Aircast® Shoulder Cryo Cuff® with the IC Pump System (http://www.orthoticsandbeyond.com/

is emerging as the most popular cold therapy product for post-injury or post-operative recovery, as the cuff is anatomically formed to comfortably accommodate the shoulder. Adjustable Velcro strapping secures the cuff around the chest and shoulder and can support the arm as needed. The shoulder cuff is most effective when combined in a bundle with the Intermittent Compression (IC) pump system that conveniently recirculates the ice water for safe cold therapy and maximum convenience. The IC pump system provides gentle compression therapy to reduce swelling and helps to recover the range of motion. Whether your shoulder pain is from arthritis, post-operative recovery, or sports-related injuries, the Air Cast CryoCuff provides a powerful combination of effective cold therapy and convenience that helps many users through the various stages of healing and recovery.
