What is HPMC?
HPMC is a targeted treatment designed to reduce pain and inflammation by rapidly cooling the affected tissue.
Precisely cooled CO₂ delivers the cooling directly where it is needed.
Who We Help
People come to Florida Cryogen looking for a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain and inflammation. HPMC may be used for conditions including sciatica and lower back pain, herniated and bulging disc discomfort, neck and shoulder pain, joint pain and arthritis, tendonitis and bursitis, plantar fasciitis and foot pain, hand and wrist pain, sports injuries, and post-operative recovery.

It comes down to depth and precision. Ice packs, cold plunges, and ice baths primarily cool the body’s surface. HPMC is designed to deliver focused cooling deeper into the targeted area.
HPMC is different in two important ways. Pressure helps drive the cooling deeper, while the treatment is focused on the specific area being treated rather than cooling the entire body.

Mechanism of Action
Precisely cooled CO₂ is directed at the specific area being treated.
The intense cooling temporarily constricts blood vessels in the targeted area.
As the area begins to rewarm, circulation returns and the body’s natural response is activated.
The treated area returns toward its normal temperature as the body continues its natural recovery process.
What does HPMC feel like?
A powerful rush of cold for a few seconds, followed by a cooling, calming sensation.
The treatment itself is brief and targeted to one area at a time, and your technician monitors the area throughout. Most of your visit is spent on the conversation around it: what is bothering you, where, and for how long.
These are visit times, not treatment times. The cooling itself is a small part of the visit.
