A Gentle Solution to Restore Your Joint’s Mobility in Somerset County New Jersey

Are you tired of living with the pain and stiffness of a frozen shoulder or post-surgical joint? Does your limited range of motion prevent you from enjoying the activities you love? At Performance Ortho, we understand the frustration and limitations caused by limited joint movement problems. We’re here to help you regain your mobility and get back to living your life to the fullest.

What is Joint Distension?

Joint distension, also called joint hydrodilatation, is a simple procedure to help reduce pain and stiffness in your joints. This new technique involves injecting a solution into the joint to stretch it gently and reduce inflammation. The result? Improved range of motion and reduced pain, helping you get back to doing what you love.

How Does Joint Distension Work?

The solution for joint distension is usually a mix of saltwater and corticosteroid medication. The saline stretches the joint capsule and creates more space in the joint, while the corticosteroid reduces inflammation. This combined effect can significantly improve your joint’s flexibility and reduce pain.

The procedure itself is quick and relatively painless. Using image guidance, we’ll accurately locate the affected joint and inject the solution. You may feel a bit uncomfortable during the shot, but most patients feel better and can move more easily afterwards.

Who benefits from Joint Distension?

Joint distension is particularly effective for treating:

  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, severely limiting your range of motion. Joint distension can help break up scar tissue and adhesions that contribute to this stiffness reducing shoulder pain.
  • Post-Surgical Joint Stiffness: After surgery, scar tissue can form around a joint, leading to stiffness and limited movement. Joint distension can help loosen this scar tissue and improve your joint’s flexibility.
  • Individuals with chronic Joint Pain and Stiffness
  • People with Limited Movement due to Scar Tissue
  • Those suffering with Osteoarthritis

If you have pain, stiffness, or trouble moving a joint, joint distension could help. This is especially true after surgery or if you have a condition like frozen shoulder. We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with joint pain and limited mobility, and we’re here to help you find relief.
