Hydrodistension Injections

A Novel Method for Treating Joint Pain

We’re excited to announce the latest addition to our suite of services: Hydrodistension Injections. Reflecting our ongoing dedication to cutting-edge, patient-centric care, this innovative treatment is set to transform the way we manage chronic joint pain.

Understanding Hydrodistension Injections

Hydrodistension, also known as hydraulic distension, is a therapeutic method primarily used for easing pain and stiffness in joints, notably in cases of adhesive capsulitis (commonly termed ‘frozen shoulder’) or chronic arthritis. This technique involves the injection of a large volume of fluid, often a saline and corticosteroid mix, directly into the joint capsule. The fluid acts to stretch the capsule, enhancing joint mobility, alleviating pain and inflammation, and fostering healing.

Advantages of Hydrodistension Injections

1. Enhanced Mobility:

Hydrodistension can aid in expanding the range of motion in joints suffering from persistent stiffness or ‘frozen’ conditions.

2. Alleviation of Pain:

By mitigating pressure and diminishing inflammation within the joint, hydrodistension often leads to a significant reduction in pain for many patients.

3. Minimal Invasion:

As a non-surgical procedure involving only an injection, hydrodistension avoids potential surgical complications and lengthy recovery times.

4. Safe and Efficacious:

Hydrodistension is generally regarded as a safe procedure with a low risk of complications, especially when administered by a trained healthcare professional.
