Frozen shoulder embolization or adhesive capsulitis embolization is a non-surgical, minimally invasive interventional radiology treatment for frozen shoulder, a chronic joint disease.
Frozen Shoulder or Adhesive Capsulitis is a condition in which a person experiences pain and stiffness caused by abnormal blood vessels in the lining of the shoulder joint capsule leading to increased blood flow and thickening of the capsule. Patients diagnosed with this chronic condition are advised to take anti-inflammatories and undergo physical therapy as treatment options.
Adhesive capsulitis embolization is a new and effective treatment for frozen shoulders for patients that do not improve with conservative therapy for 3 months. The procedure involves restoring the normal blood flow to the shoulder joint capsule. Our interventional radiologist, Dr. Arjun Somireddy, makes a minute incision into a blood vessel in the wrist to insert a catheter. With the help of X-ray imaging, the catheter is navigated to the abnormal blood vessels in the shoulder, where it releases microscopic beads that block and reduce the excessive blood flow. It leads to pain relief and increases shoulder mobility.
80-85% of the patients who have undergone the procedure performed by our interventionalist radiologist Dr. Arjun Somireddy have seen a significant improvement in their symptoms. They also experience higher mobility and, hence, a better quality of life.
ACE has no cosmetic or any other side effects. A few patients may have a fever or experience redness or bruise in the wrist where the catheter is inserted.
Adhesive capsulitis embolization has today gained immense popularity for being a safe and highly effective treatment for frozen shoulders. For best results, consult Dr. Arjun Somireddy. He is a renowned interventionalist radiologist who has worked with leading healthcare facilities in Hyderabad and Boston and is familiar with the most advanced techniques in frozen shoulder embolization.
