There are a wide variety of different types of CPM devices, but essentially most of them do a few basic things and that’s it. When it comes to your shoulder however, there are specific CPM devices designed just for this particular type of area on your body. One thing you need to keep in mind is that these devices are fairly expensive, and are therefore fairly impractical for most people to afford out of pocket as they can be anywhere from $2-$10,000. However, you can usually use these devices within the hospital that you had your search procedure done or an equivalent rehabilitation center.
