From early-stage stiffness to advanced arthritis, Dr. Chanda evaluates every hip case on its own merits — and only recommends surgery when conservative care truly can't help.
Common signs include pain when lifting the arm overhead, weakness, and difficulty sleeping on the affected side. An examination alongside imaging (ultrasound or MRI) confirms the diagnosis and its severity.
No — the majority of patients Dr. Chanda sees are managed without surgery. Only around 15% go on to need an operation, after non-surgical options have been fully explored.
Frozen shoulder is a gradual stiffening and loss of movement in the shoulder joint. It's usually managed with physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication and, in some cases, a manipulation or arthroscopic release.
Recovery varies by procedure — arthroscopic repairs typically need 3–6 months of structured rehabilitation, while shoulder replacement recovery is usually spread over a similar timeframe with progressive physiotherapy.
Book a consultation and find out what's really causing your shoulder pain — and what your options are.
