Steroid Injection vs Hydrodilatation for Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder can cause persistent pain, stiffness and difficulty with everyday movements. But how do steroid injections and hydrodilatation differ?
Steroid injections may help reduce pain and inflammation.
Hydrodilatation involves injecting fluid into the shoulder joint to stretch the tight joint capsule, with the aim of improving movement.
Both are potential treatment options, and the most suitable approach depends on your symptoms, shoulder mobility and clinical assessment.
At Joint Injections, we offer ultrasound-guided joint injections to help guide treatment to the appropriate area.
