Adhesive Capsulitis is a common Musculoskeletal disorder characterized by pain and progressive joint restriction in capsular pattern. Adhesive capsulitis can be managed by both conservative and non conservative treatment. The Spencer technique and hydrodilation are two treatment approaches used to restore range of motion in adhesive capsulitis.
The Spencer technique is a form of physical therapy that involves joint mobilizations and manual stretching exercises. It aims to improve shoulder mobility and reduce pain by addressing the tightness and stiffness in the shoulder capsule and surrounding tissues.
Hydrodilation, on the other hand, is a procedure where a saline solution is injected into the shoulder joint to distend the capsule. This distention helps stretch the tight tissues and break up adhesions, facilitating improved range of motion.
