Unlocking Your Motion
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is a condition where the connective tissue surrounding the joint (the capsule) thickens and tightens, causing severe stiffness and deep pain. It most commonly affects individuals aged 40-60 and is particularly prevalent in those with diabetes.
Understanding the Stages
Frozen shoulder typically evolves through three distinct phases:
- Freezing Stage: Increasing pain and beginning of motion loss.
- Frozen Stage: Pain may decrease, but stiffness is at its peak.
- Thawing Stage: Gradual return of movement over several months.
Hydrodilatation & MUA
At Trinay Orthopedic Hospital, we don't just wait for the shoulder to "thaw" naturally. We offer Hydrodilatation—injecting sterile fluid into the capsule to stretch it from the inside—and Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) for stubborn cases to restore motion instantly. Learn more about our treatments on our About Us page, or Contact Us to schedule an appointment.
Suprascapular Nerve Block
For patients in the excruciating "painful stage," we perform a precise nerve block to "reset" the pain signals, allowing you to start aggressive physiotherapy without the typical burning discomfort.
Guided Rehabilitation
The key to permanent relief is consistent, gentle stretching. Our physiotherapy team provides a personalized "Stretching Diary" and uses heat therapy to ensure your capsule remains flexible as it heals.
