What is FROZEN SHOULDER

Frozen shoulder is a condition that affects your shoulder joint. It usually involves pain and stiffness that develops gradually, gets worse and then finally goes away. This can take anywhere from a year to 3 years.
Your shoulder is made up of three bones that form a ball-and-socket joint. They are your upper arm (humerus), shoulder blade (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle). There’s also tissue surrounding your shoulder joint that holds everything together. This is called the shoulder capsule.

SYMPTOMS & DIAGNOSIS

The main symptoms of a frozen shoulder are pain and stiffness that make it difficult or impossible to move it.
If you have frozen shoulder, you’ll likely feel a dull or achy pain in one shoulder. You might also feel the pain in the shoulder muscles that wrap around the top of your arm. You might feel the same sensation in your upper arm. Your pain could get worse at night, which can make it hard to sleep.
You’ll typically go through three phases with a frozen shoulder. Each has its own unique symptoms and timeline.

Treatment

Shoulder Pain Embolization is the best way to treat

Catheter treatment for joint pain embolization will be effective for shoulder pain. Its non-surgical treatment, is done with a single needle puncture, no cut, no suture & 70-80% effective for pain reduction.

How does shoulder pain embolization work?

By performing selective angiography with the catheter, discover abnormal blood vessels in the pain area.

These abnormal blood vessles are culprit for pain. We inject embolizing particles to block these abnormal vessle & it will reduce pain.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body with a complex arrangement of bone and soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, and muscles) that work together to produce shoulder movement.
Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a thickening and tightening of the soft tissue capsule that surrounds the glenohumeral joint, the ball and socket joint of the shoulder.
Primary adhesive capsulitis and secondary adhesive capsulitis are the two types for frozen shoulder.
Primary adhesive capsulitis is a subject of much debate. The specific causes of this condition are not yet known. Possible causes include changes in the immune system, or biochemical and hormonal imbalances. Diseases such as diabetes mellitus, and some cardiovascular and neurological disorders may also be contributing factors. In fact, patients with diabetes have a three times higher risk of developing adhesive capsulitis than the general population. Primary adhesive capsulitis may affect both shoulders (although this may not happen at the same time) and may be resistant to most forms of treatment.
Secondary (or acquired) adhesive capsulitis develops from a known cause, such as stiffness following a shoulder injury, surgery, or a prolonged period of immobilization.
