Frozen Shoulder 18-Jan-2016 At 1:58:04 PM kieranl

My shoulder wasn't frozen but movement was restricted and hydrodilation gave me back most of it over 2 treatments. I've also had a couple of friends with frozen shoulders who were totally fixed by it.
There are varying opinions about effectiveness. The radiologists who did mine (in Ballarat) were quoting only 25% success rate and seemed really surprised when I came back for my second treatment. I believe that there are Melbourne-based centres that are much more positive about their efficacy
Some experienced sports physios that I know haven't seen one fail when the problem is a frozen shoulder, and they've seen lots.
There's not many downsides to them apart from the hassle of having them which is under CT control. I found them mildly uncomfortable. I was warned by the radiologist that it would be worse than an epidural injection but found it was much less so.
