In the video above, Dr.Rozil Gandhi, an Interventional radiologist, discusses frozen shoulder
and how it is very frequent in individuals nowadays. While there are many various types of
treatments for frozen shoulder, Dr.Rozil will discuss a new technique to treat frozen shoulder
that is non-surgical.
Adhesive capsulitis is the scientific name for frozen shoulder. Adhesive capsulitis is the
joint of the shoulder. When the covering of the shoulder becomes swollen, it is called
capsulitis, and it slowly turns the shoulder joint very hard, affecting shoulder joint movement
and possibly giving you night pain or shoulder movement pain.
What are the causes of the Frozen shoulder?
Frozen shoulder can be caused by a variety of factors.
Because uncontrolled blood sugar levels can damage collagen, a crucial protein that makes
up your connective tissue, people with diabetes are more likely to develop frozen shoulder.
Any shoulder injury or surgery that needs hospitalization of the shoulder is linked to this
condition (i.e., by using a shoulder brace, sling, shoulder wrap, etc.)
And now we know that many people have had shoulder discomfort after receiving a covid
vaccination, which occurs when the vaccine is administered on the wrong side of the body,
and that the most effective treatment for any type of shoulder pain is rest.
Treatments For shoulder pain :
If you have diabetes and aren’t getting any results in terms of pain relief, an
anti-inflammatory, or painkiller, should be given to the patient. Physiotherapy is also an
option for the treatment of frozen shoulder, but if you aren’t getting relief after 3 to 4 months
of treatment, we may have the right option for you.
Shoulder joint embolization :
This treatment can be done by angiography. We have a radial artery on our wrist through
which a catheter is put to do angiography for the shoulder joint and the damaged nerves that
are supplying excessive blood to the joint.
In this procedure, we do angiography and create a map of the nerves that supply blood to
the shoulder. We then minimize the swelling of the shoulder by injecting embolized particles,
which reduces the swelling and relieves your discomfort significantly.
This procedure does not require any cuts or surgery, and the recovery rate is extremely high
in this type of angiography.
