The Recovery Shop
Shoulder surgery can involve a lengthy recovery process. The Recovery Shop has partnered with HSS and other orthopedic surgeons to provide post-operative recovery equipment, such as cold therapy units, directly to patients with customer support. Many of these products will help with swelling and pain, improve nutrition, aid in sleeping, and help healing. These products are not typically covered by insurance, but they can be purchased using an HSA/credit card for home delivery.
