If you’re struggling with frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, you know how painful and limiting it can be. Daily tasks like dressing, reaching overhead, or sleeping comfortably become frustrating challenges.
The Leg Pain Clinic, under the expertise of Dr. Bilal Anwer, now offers a breakthrough treatment: Shoulder Embolization for Frozen Shoulder. This minimally invasive, image-guided procedure targets the underlying cause of pain and stiffness—offering new hope for patients who haven’t found relief with physical therapy or injections.
What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and thickened, leading to pain, restricted motion, and a ‘stuck’ feeling. It’s common in people recovering from surgery, trauma, or those with diabetes or thyroid issues.
Traditionally, treatment involves physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and sometimes surgery or manipulation under anesthesia. But now, there’s a less invasive option that gets to the root of the inflammation.
How Shoulder Embolization Works
Shoulder embolization reduces inflammation by blocking abnormal blood vessels around the shoulder joint that perpetuate pain and stiffness. Using real-time imaging, Dr. Anwer inserts a catheter through a small pinhole in the wrist or groin and delivers microscopic particles to these vessels, improving blood flow balance and reducing inflammation.
The result? Improved mobility, reduced pain, and better function—without surgery.
Why Choose Embolization for Frozen Shoulder?
– Minimally invasive, outpatient procedure
– No general anesthesia
– No surgical scars or stitches
– Minimal recovery time
– Long-lasting symptom relief
– Often effective for patients who didn’t respond to other treatments

Is It Right for You?
You may be a candidate for shoulder embolization if you have:
– Chronic frozen shoulder symptoms lasting 3+ months
– Pain not relieved by medications or physical therapy
– Limited range of motion interfering with daily life
If you’ve been told your only option is surgery or you’re stuck in a cycle of injections, embolization may offer a better path forward.
