Smart Relief. Faster Recovery.

CureTech cryo-therapy combines controlled cold and compression to help manage pain, reduce swelling, and support healing during the most critical days after surgery.

Instead of ice machines or bulky tubing, CureTech’s medical-grade cryo-compression braces deliver consistent therapy in a simple, wearable design—so recovery fits into real life, at home or on the go.

When prescribed by a provider, cryo-compression therapy may be covered by Medicare and most commercial insurance plans.

Why Providers Prescribe Cryo-Compression Therapy

Doctors often prescribe cryo-compression after procedures where swelling and pain can interfere with early movement or comfort during recovery.It’s commonly used following surgeries such as:
  • Knee replacement, ACL repair, or arthroscopy
  • Lumbar fusion, spine surgery, or microdiscectomy
  • Hip replacement or labrum repair
  • Shoulder rotator cuff or labrum repair
  • Non-opioid pain management plan
