Does it work?

‘Hydro dilatation’ or ‘Hydro distension’, is a special procedure to treat frozen shoulder conditions. Fluid expands the joint capsule and stretches the scar tissue, ligaments and muscles to improve shoulder movement. Steroid is a strong anti-inflammatory medication that helps to reduce shoulder pain. The success rate is over 90% when combined with shoulder exercises following this procedure. If you are struggling with the ‘frozen shoulder’, this is the procedure you do not want to miss. Our patient’s comments about this procedure:

‘it’s a treat’,
‘feels amazing ‘
Thank goodness, the pain I had is gone.

This special injection with shoulder exercises saves you from surgery.

What is a Hydrodilatation injection?

This special procedure for the frozen shoulder is carried out under ultrasound guidance. Local anaesthesia is given just under the skin using a very small needle to numb the skin. Then the needle is guided into the joint space and injected with local anaesthesia, water for injection or NaCl and steroid/Corticosteroid until the joint capsule is stretched or felt pop. 

Hydrodistension, hydrodilatation, or high-volume injections are meticulously administered under ultrasound guidance. The goal is to precisely deliver a combination of anti-inflammatory steroids, local anaesthetic, and saline to provide pain relief while intentionally stretching the joint’s lining (joint capsule). This procedure is increasingly employed in the treatment of ‘frozen shoulder’ (adhesive capsulitis) and has demonstrated effectiveness in the majority of patients, offering not only pain relief but also aiding in the restoration of movement.

These injections can swiftly and effectively alleviate pain and reduce inflammation; however, it’s important to note that the improvements are typically temporary. Like any medication, some individuals may experience side effects.

What happens when I recieve a hydrodistension injection?

The clinician overseeing your injection will select the most suitable steroid medication and determine the optimal overall volume dose based on your specific condition and symptoms. Typically, you will be positioned in a reclined posture with the joint exposed for the injection. The clinician, guided by ultrasound, will administer the injection directly into the joint, and the process is generally swift and straightforward.

In some instances, patients may choose to receive a smaller-dose steroid injection immediately following their hydrodistension injection, targeting an area around the joint known as the ‘bursa.’ Research suggests that this supplementary step can yield a significant enhancement in pain relief.

What should I expect after a shoulder injection?

After the injection, you may feel pain-free for a couple of hours due to Local anaesthesia. However, the pain returns after 2 hours, you may even feel more pain for a couple of days due to bruising pain. Usually, you should start feeling better from the third day onwards. Pain relief from the steroid injection may take 1 to 2 weeks.

Excellent Joint Care Clinic

"My experience at Joint Care Clinic was excellent. I was very nervous, but as soon as Ram greeted me, he very professionally put me at ease. Ram explained every step of the treatment in detail and explained that he would be able to ease the pain I was experiencing. The advice, support and cost of the treatment I received were excellent and very competitive. I will not hesitate to consult Ram in the future should I require quick and professional treatment and service. Thank you, Ram."

Ultrasound-Guided Knee Pain Injections

"I had steroid injections in my both knees 2 weeks ago by Dr Ram at the Kingsheath branch. A truly amazing experience with Ram. He took time to listen and the way he explained it was very professional. I don’t have enough words to thank him. Such an amazing personality and treatment"

Riya

Ultrasound Guided Cortisone Injections

"I had an appointment this morning 18 January at the Kings Heath Clinic with Ramakrishna. I was very anxious but I was completely put at ease by this very professional gentleman! He explained everything that was going to happen in great detail. When he was doing the ultrasound he was explaining everything to me. I then had the cortisone injection and I can honestly I didn’t feel a thing, I would highly recommend this clinic. Thank you again"

Susan White

Shoulder Injury Steroid Injections

"I would like to wholeheartedly thank Ram. I had been waiting well over 8 months with the NHS to sort out my shoulder problem, to no avail. So looked for a private consultation with Ram at the joint care clinic. After my consultation and an ultrasound which diagnosed arthritis and bursitis, I received steroid injections. I have had steroid injections in the past which I found uncomfortable, but under Ram's expert hands, these were not at all painful. One very happy lady." GB

Plantar Fasciitis

"I recently visited Ram, this man is a genius, I have suffered with plantar fasciitis for almost 6 months, I was given injections and I have now got instant relief . I would highly recommend anyone with this problem to get an appointment asap. Not only is this man highly knowledgeable and experienced he’s got a great personality and he’s a genuine guy " Paul Davis

Knee Injury Treatment

"I saw Ram last year with a persistent injury that I couldn't get rid of. Fantastic service right from the start, providing in-depth details about my injury and how he was planning to 'fix' it. After 2 visits to see Ram, he cleared my injury and gave me the confidence to start running properly again. Thank you, Ram."

Jamie Loveridge

Frozen Shoulder Pain Treatment

"A truly amazing experience with Mr Ram today. I visited his practice in Rugby to have a USG injection to help with pain and movement IN my frozen shoulder. He explained everything in great detail before proceeding with the injection. He also highlighted a secondary issue during the scan which I can now refer to my doctor. I travelled a 13-hour round trip from Devon and it was so worth it as I am already feeling the benefit from my procedure" Anthony Waring

Shoulder Pain Steroid Injections

"I visited Ram after seeking a diagnosis from other practitioners. He was very kind and took the time to examine my shoulder show me the ultrasound and explain why my shoulder was so painful. He then gave me a steroid injection which was a remarkably pain-free affair.
After a week I am considerably more comfortable. He is a caring sympathetic individual and I have no hesitancy in recommending him to anyone who wants to know what's wrong and receive advice and therapy. Thank you, Ram"
Patricia Russell

Plantar Fascitis Treatment

"I saw Ram 2 weeks ago after struggling with plantar fascitis, unfortunately, my GP wasn't able to fit me in, Ram was extremely quick to respond to my enquiry and fitted me in 2 days later, the pain didn't completely go after the first injection and I've returned today for a second which Ram is confident will fully stop the pain. Ram was very understanding as I'm a very nervous patient, he also went to the trouble of buying thinner needles to reduce my discomfort.

Highly recommended, thanks, Ram." Rachel Aubrey

Trochanter Bursitis Treatment

"After suffering with great Trochanter bursitis for several months, and unable to access treatment on the NHS for 8 to 10 months, 2 weeks ago I visited the clinic and I am now pain-free." Rachel Aubrey

Consistently Excellent Service

"Consistently excellent service. I have been visiting Joint Care Clinic in Birmingham for a number of years for elbow and knee injections, always with Ram, the owner. He is an absolutely fantastic practitioner; highly skilled, very experienced, down-to-earth, and extremely polite. He explains everything clearly, calmly addresses all and any questions thoroughly. Ram has a friendly manner and treats patients with the utmost professionalism and respect every time. Ram has a refreshingly ethical approach and is honest about the pros and cons of any treatment. He works to THE highest standard. His skill is exceptional; the way he administers injections is effortless, with little to no pain at all. I once saw another practitioner elsewhere, and the experience could not have been more different; with Ram, the process is smooth, comfortable, and over before you know it!" Rashida G

Wrist Pain Treatment

"I was in a great deal of pain and couldn’t move my left (dominant) wrist. My NHS appointment had come through, with an initial wait time of 10 months! I phoned Joint Care Clinic and was seen within a couple of days, with diagnosis and wrist treatment given there and then. The pain relief was life-changing, and I was able to again carry on with daily jobs that we all take for granted for the first time in months. I would HIGHLY recommend using Joint Care Clinics."
