HYDRODISTENTION FOR ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS (FROZEN SHOULDER)
Indication: Shoulder hydrodistention is used to treat adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder. This condition involves inflammation and tightening of the joint capsule, leading to pain, stiffness, and a gradual loss of shoulder mobility. Hydrodistention is particularly beneficial for patients in the "frozen" or early "thawing" stages of the condition who have not improved with conservative treatments such as physiotherapy or oral medications.
Mechanism of Action: Hydrodistention involves the injection of a fluid mixture (typically 5% dextrose, local anesthetic, and sometimes corticosteroid) into the shoulder joint capsule under ultrasound guidance. The goal is to gently stretch and expand the tight capsule, breaking up adhesions and reducing inflammation. This procedure helps restore joint volume, reduce pain, and improve range of motion.
"In my practice, I am dedicated to providing expert care in regenerative therapies. With ultrasound guidance and evidence-based techniques, I ensure accuracy and quality in the delivery of regenerative injections. My goal is to help patients regain their quality of life, return to sport, reduce pain, and enhance their overall well-being."
