Freeze Shoulder Pain Before It Starts

At PainFreezeMD, preoperative cryoneurolysis offers lasting pain relief for patients undergoing rotator cuff repair, shoulder replacement or labral repair.

Using ultrasound guidance, we safely apply focused cold therapy to the nerves that transmit shoulder pain — which can help you wake up from surgery with significantly less discomfort.

Targeted Nerves for Shoulder Cryoneurolysis

• Suprascapular nerve — supplies pain fibers to ~70% of the shoulder joint

• Axillary nerve — covers the outer shoulder and deltoid region

• Lateral pectoral nerve — contributes to pain in the front of the shoulder and upper chest

This combination reduces both deep joint and surface pain, promoting comfort, better sleep and quicker return of range of motion.

Ideal For:

• Rotator cuff repair

• Shoulder replacement

• Labral repair or instability surgery

• Arthroscopic shoulder procedures

Shoulder Cryoneurolysis May:

✅ Reduce opioid use after surgery

✅ Improve comfort and sleep

✅ Facilitate early movement and physical therapy

✅ Promote faster recovery and return to activity

✅ Reduce chronic post-surgical shoulder pain

What to Expect

• Quick, in-office procedure (~30-40 minutes)

• Performed 5-10 days before surgery

• No incisions or sedation

• Immediate return to normal activities

PainFreezeMD gives you the advantage of preemptive pain control — so you can recover stronger and sooner.
