Why Choose ACE for Frozen Shoulder?

ACE is a minimally invasive option for frozen shoulder that targets inflamed blood vessels associated with pain and stiffness. By addressing the underlying inflammation, it may help improve shoulder mobility and reduce discomfort without open surgery. Most patients experience a quicker recovery and can return to routine activities sooner.

How ACE Works

Understanding the procedure step-by-step helps you feel confident about your treatment choice.

Step 1:Initial Consultation

Your doctor evaluates shoulder pain, stiffness, range of motion, and imaging (MRI or ultrasound) to confirm if ACE is suitable for you.

Step 1: Initial Consultation
Step 2:Access Through a Tiny Pinhole

A thin catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in your wrist or groin. No surgical cuts. No stitches. No general anaesthesia.

Step 2: Access Through a Tiny Pinhole
Step 3:Guided Imaging to Identify Problem Arteries

Using advanced imaging, the doctor maps tiny arteries responsible for fuelling inflammation around the shoulder capsule.

Step 3: Guided Imaging to Identify Problem Arteries
Step 4:Blocking Inflammation-Causing Arteries

Microscopic particles are gently released to reduce abnormal blood flow linked to pain and stiffness.

Step 4: Blocking Inflammation-Causing Arteries
Step 5:Relief & Mobility Improvement Begins

As inflammation decreases, many patients experience gradual improvement in pain and shoulder movement over the following weeks.
