Frozen Shoulder FAQs
What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder in medical terms is called Adhesive capsulitis. Frozen shoulder is a condition secondary to long-standing shoulder inflammation which causes thickening of the shoulder capsule and ultimately restriction of the shoulder movements. It’s a debilitating condition.
How is Frozen Shoulder Diagnosed?
It is diagnosed clinically. Ultrasound is used to determine the possible cause of adhesive capsulitis and to affirm the diagnosis and guided treatment.

What are the treatments for frozen Shoulder?
Ultrasound-guided intra-articular steroid injections are used as the first line of treatment.
Ultrasound-guided “Hydrodistension/hydro dilatation” is considered the best method of treatment which aims to distend/ dilate the shoulder capsule. During this procedure, the consultant radiologist approaches the exact location to inject fluid admixed with steroids. In our experience, this procedure/treatment yields excellent results. Most of the patients feel immediate relief.
Surgery is the last choice in very resistant cases.
What’s ultrasound-guided Hydrodistension/Hydro dilatation?
It’s a minimally invasive procedure with the best results in most of the cases. The consultant radiologist identifies the exact location with ultrasound guidance. A local anaesthetic is initially given with the intention to make it a pain-free procedure. Local anaesthetic + steroid is instilled into the joint cavity and following this, approximately 20 -30 ml of normal saline/ fluid is injected into the joint cavity to distend the capsule. You may feel a bit compressive and rarely a tingling feeling in your arm. In our experience, most of the patients start benefitting just after the procedure.
This procedure is highly advised to be less invasive and have good results before any surgery is contemplated.
Physiotherapy exercises are recommended for long-lasting results.
Is there any preparation before the Hydrodistension/Hydro dilatation?
No specific precaution. Let your consultant know about the medication you are already taking.

Any post-procedural advice?
It’s advisable not to drive after the procedure. You are advised not to perform heavy physical activity for 2- 3 days. You need to start physio exercises immediately and increase the frequency of these with the passage of time to achieve the very best results.
