Frozen Shoulder Specialist FAQ

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where the flexible capsule surrounding your shoulder joint becomes severely inflamed, thickens, and tightens. We treat this primarily using an ultrasound-guided anti-inflammatory joint injection to break the painful cycle of inflammation, allowing you to regain movement.

The main barrier to recovering from a frozen shoulder is intense pain, especially at night. A targeted anti-inflammatory injection dramatically reduces this swelling inside the tight joint capsule, providing a rapid reduction in pain and a clinical window of opportunity to actively stretch and restore your range of motion.

When a shoulder freezes, the internal joint space becomes incredibly restricted and tight. Ultrasound guidance allows us to see inside the joint cavity in real time, ensuring 100% accurate delivery of the medication exactly into the inflamed capsule while avoiding tendons and blood vessels.

While the shoulder joint is already highly sensitive, we prioritize your comfort by using a fine needle and numbing the skin and pathway with a local anaesthetic first. Most patients describe a brief deep pressure sensation as the medication enters the restricted capsule rather than sharp pain.

The entire appointment takes approximately 20–30 minutes. This includes a clinical mobility assessment to verify your stage of frozen shoulder, an ultrasound scan to look for associated tendon issues, sterile preparation, and the guided injection.

The local anaesthetic can provide temporary relief within hours. The main anti-inflammatory medication begins working over the next 3 to 7 days, which is when you will notice a significant drop in baseline aching and a major improvement in your sleep quality.

The powerful anti-inflammatory effects generally last for several months. Crucially, because it eliminates the severe pain, it allows you to consistently perform rehab exercises that permanently remodel and loosen the tight capsule so the stiffness doesn't return.

Yes. Early intervention with a guided injection combined with a dedicated stretching program successfully resolves a vast majority of cases, helping patients completely avoid invasive options like surgical arthroscopic capsule release under general anaesthetic.

Your shoulder may feel slightly heavy or numb for a couple of hours due to the local anaesthetic. For your safety, we advise that you do not drive immediately afterward and instead arrange alternative transport home. You can return to driving the following day once full sensation returns.

Some patients experience a temporary flare-up of localized discomfort or a "steroid flush" (redness in the face) for 24–48 hours. These side effects are temporary and settle quickly. Serious risks like infection are minimized through our strict sterile techniques.

Yes. Even if you are in the peak "frozen stage" where movement is strictly locked, the injection is highly effective at abolishing the underlying chronic inflammation and night pain, making your upcoming physical therapy much more tolerable and productive.

No GP referral is required. Our diagnostic and injection clinic operates on a direct-access basis, meaning you can self-refer and book your appointment directly with our specialist team to get rapid relief without the long waiting lists.

The injection removes the pain, but it cannot instantly un-stretch a physically thickened joint capsule. To get your arm fully overhead, you must pair the injection with a structured progressive physical therapy and stretching program while the joint is pain-free.

Yes. We offer an efficient same-day clinical pathway. Your specialist will perform a dynamic upper limb assessment, execute a diagnostic ultrasound scan to rule out rotator cuff tears, and deliver the targeted injection all within a single visit.
