Deductions & credits

This is my opinion only.  Unless the cryotherapy was prescribed by a physician it would be less likely to be considered a medical deduction.  Those types of procedures are usually considered to be more cosmetic and would not be deductible.  

The therapeutic device would be more likely to be deductible without question since it directly treats the arthritis pain.  However, if you could get a letter from her physician recommending it, that would be even better.
