Shoulder Capsule Release

What is Shoulder Capsule Release?

Shoulder Capsule Release is a procedure aimed at treating the thickened and inflamed capsule surrounding the shoulder joint, commonly seen in frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). This release helps restore motion and reduce pain.

By loosening the tight capsule, the shoulder regains mobility, allowing patients to move more freely and comfortably.

Adhesiolysis Shoulder

What is Adhesiolysis?

Adhesiolysis involves breaking down adhesions—scar tissue bands in the shoulder joint that limit motion and cause pain.

By removing these adhesions, the joint is freed, improving flexibility and function significantly.

RFA Shoulder

What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?

RFA uses radiofrequency energy to disrupt the nerve pathways responsible for shoulder pain.

When combined with capsule release and adhesiolysis, RFA provides long-lasting pain reduction and improved shoulder function.

Indications for Shoulder Capsule Release, Adhesiolysis & RFA

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Severe stiffness and pain limiting shoulder movement.

Chronic Shoulder Pain: Persistent pain not responding to physiotherapy or medication.

Rotator Cuff Related Pain: Pain after injury or degeneration.

Post-Surgical Shoulder Stiffness: Stiffness following shoulder surgery.

Shoulder Capsule Release / Adhesiolysis / RFA Procedure

A minimally invasive, targeted approach to relieve shoulder stiffness and pain

1

Pre-Procedure Consultation

A comprehensive evaluation to assess shoulder condition and treatment suitability.

2

Preparation & Sedation

Local anesthesia is administered, and sedation may be provided for comfort.

3

Imaging Guidance

Ultrasound or fluoroscopy ensures accurate needle and instrument placement.

4

Capsule Release / Adhesiolysis

The tight capsule or scar tissue is released to restore natural joint movement.

5

Radiofrequency Ablation

RFA is performed to reduce nerve signals responsible for chronic pain.

6

Recovery

Patients are monitored briefly and provided detailed post-procedure instructions.

Post Procedure Care

What to Expect After the Procedure

  • Activity Restrictions: Avoid heavy activity for 24–48 hours.
