If you’re struggling with persistent shoulder stiffness and pain, you’re not alone. A common condition known as adhesive capsulitis, or “frozen shoulder,” can seriously disrupt daily life. Fortunately, expert care is available in Bangalore. Dr. Ponnanna K M offers state-of-the-art Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Bangalore with minimally invasive arthroscopic capsular release to help restore movement and reduce pain quickly.

What Is Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Bangalore with Dr. Ponnanna K M?

Dr. Ponnanna K M at Opera Bone & Joint Clinic and Sparsh Hospital is a leading shoulder specialist in Bangalore. He’s internationally trained in arthroscopy and joint replacement, with fellowships from Pune and Sydney.

His approach to Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Bangalore emphasizes early intervention. When non-surgical options—like NSAIDs, steroid injections, and physiotherapy—fail, he performs arthroscopic capsular release, also called pericapsular release. This procedure uses tiny incisions to precisely cut the stiffened joint capsule, restoring range of motion under visualization.

Why Arthroscopic Capsular Release Stands Out

• Minimally invasive: Compared to manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopy is more controlled and reduces risk of fractures or soft-tissue injury.
• Precision and safety: Dr. Ponnanna navigates the rotator interval, superior and anterior-inferior capsule layers, using a radiofrequency probe—carefully releasing scar tissue while protecting vital structures.
• Rapid recovery: Most patients begin physio within days and return to desk jobs in ~2 weeks, with full activity resumed in 6+ weeks.

Studies show high functional gains: the Constant–Murley score jumps from ~37% to nearly normal levels after release. Most patients roof back to previous work and sports within ~2–2.5 months.

Is This Treatment Suitable for You?

Ideal candidates include:

• People with persistent shoulder stiffness (with phases of freezing, frozen, thawing, often lasting up to 2 years) who haven’t responded to nonsurgical care.
• Patients with idiopathic frozen shoulder often show better results than those with postoperative or trauma-related stiffness.
• Especially those with diabetes, thyroid issues, or prior immobilization—all known risk factors for adhesive capsulitis.

Dr. Ponnanna’s proven experience ensures that each patient receives a personalized plan tailored to their unique condition, lifestyle, and medical history.
