Mob,
For inflammation, I can't imagine how it wouldn't work. I've never done cryotherapy, but did have a cryo cuff for my knee after a meniscus surgery roughly 10 years ago. It worked wonders for me. I used it for about a month and actually had my knee wrapped while I slept. One night, I thought I'd go without it and was all swelled up in the morning. I still use it periodically if I feel like I overworked myself. I typically recommend icing and am a big advocate of massage of self myofascial release (foam rolling) in addition to stretching, which most studies show to be the best thing for recovery and mobility.
All the best!
