Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Is frozen shoulder capsular expansion surgery safe?
Operating under ultrasound guidance ensures high precision and excellent safety.
Does frozen shoulder joint surgery require hospitalization?
No. This is an outpatient treatment; you can go home after post-operative observation.
Does SIS (Super Magnetic Energy Therapy) hurt?
No. The treatment involves only slight vibration and a warm sensation, and is a non-invasive therapy.
What’s the difference between frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tear?
Frozen shoulder is caused by inflammation and adhesions of the joint capsule, resulting in limited overall movement; a rotator cuff tear is a tear or rupture of the shoulder tendon, often accompanied by weakness in the arm or a “clicking” sound during movement. Doctors will use ultrasound or MRI images to determine the difference and provide different treatment plans.
Can frozen shoulder heal on its own without treatment?
Some patients with mild cases may recover spontaneously, but it usually takes 1 to 3 years. Aggressive treatment can shorten the course of the disease and prevent functional loss.
