Shoulder joint injection is not usually painful if you have it done by an expert. Many doctors, and now too some physical therapists, are skilled in the technique.
My own preference in most patients is to inject the shoulder from the back of the joint - most patients find it more comfortable and the procedure is less intimidating, not least because you don't ever see the needle approach your skin !

Is hydrodistension for frozen shoulder available in the US? If so, do you know of any Dr.'s in California, I'm in the central valley area of California and I'm looking for a Dr. that does this type of procedure.
Thank You
Hi there
Yes - I'm pretty certain that hydrodistension is available in the USA.
Some hospitals will use other words to describe the technique but the procedure and benefits are the same.
You might hear it described as therapeutic arthrogram, distension arthrogram or therapeutic distension of the shoulder.
I hope that helps
Good luck.
