Hydrodilatation will facilitate the movement of the shoulder joint by stretching the joint capsule.
In the case of advanced arthritis or damage to the joint surface, shoulder replacement surgery would be the way to go.

Frozen shoulder is a disease that usually goes through three different and specific stages. You need to know which stage you are currently experiencing because incorrect treatment may cause additional inflammation in the tissues.
Freezing Phase (Painful Phase)
This first phase can last for six weeks to nine months and is associated with the continuous and intense increase in pain experienced in the deep shoulder joints. While the joint capsule thickens, the shoulder will hurt when you move, and pain will intensify at night as it will be difficult for you to find a comfortable position.
Frozen Phase (Stiff Phase)
In this phase, which lasts from four to twelve months, the level of pain can stabilize and gradually decrease. The joint capsule becomes very dense and scarred, thus locking the arm. You will not be able to perform simple tasks such as touching the back or raising the arm.
Thawing Stage (Recovery)
Taking between six months and two years for completion, the tough layers of scar tissues inside finally start to break down. The normal range of movement of the joint starts coming back gradually, and this can happen much faster with professional treatment and physiotherapy.
You do not have to endure the daily exhaustion, constant limitations, and burning ache of a locked joint any longer. Additionally, early detection will make the recovery process easier for you and will prevent you from unnecessary complications. Dr. Maqsood Akhtar has been working for more than twenty years to develop sophisticated shoulder joint treatments that will allow patients just like you to lead an independent life without any restrictions. We also provide affordable frozen shoulder surgery costs to facilitate patients.
If a specific problem requires conservative stretching or a minimally invasive surgical procedure, the medical professionals are well-equipped and ready to provide the highest level of treatment for you.
