Shoulder Hydrodilation Treatment
I get a lot of email questions about shoulder hydrodilation treatment for frozen shoulder
Some people call it shoulder hydrodistension or hydrodilatation. Medical journals sometimes refer to it as a "therapeutic arthrogram" - but it all amounts to the same thing ... using warm saline to stretch out and distend the shoulder joint capsule
The joint capsule is the bag of gristle that surrounds the shoulder. In a frozen shoulder it becomes inflamed and sticky - sticking to itself and to other parts of the joint too. Injecting warm salty water under mild pressure helps to break up the stick adhesions and frees the joint to a more normal range of painfree movement
I'm pleased to say that frozen shoulder hydrodilatation treatment is now available in Edinburgh. It works well for frozen shoulder pain at all stages but is particularly good for those whose pain is very severe or who have a shoulder that is very, very stuck
