Frozen Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Treatment London — Non-Surgical Prolozone and Prolotherapy
Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal reason patients present to their GP — and two of its most common presentations, frozen shoulder and rotator cuff damage, are among the most frustrating to treat through conventional means. Physiotherapy helps but is slow. Steroid injections provide temporary relief. Surgery carries significant risk with inconsistent outcomes.
At Proback Clinic in Victoria, London, we offer Prolozone, Prolotherapy, Shockwave Therapy and Hydro-Release used in combination to address the specific components of frozen shoulder and rotator cuff presentations simultaneously.
Frozen Shoulder — Why It Becomes Chronic and How We Treat It
Frozen shoulder involves progressive inflammation and fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule — restricting movement and generating significant pain over a typical two to three year progression. Prolozone delivered into the glenohumeral joint and surrounding capsular tissue reduces the capsular inflammation and stimulates breakdown of the fibrotic adhesions restricting movement. Prolotherapy to the surrounding ligamentous structures supports structural repair as the capsule recovers. Most frozen shoulder patients notice meaningful improvement within three to four sessions.
Rotator Cuff Damage — Addressing the Poor Blood Supply
The rotator cuff tendons have a poor blood supply particularly at their insertion — which is why rotator cuff conditions are slow to heal. Prolozone dramatically improves oxygenation and circulation in the hypovascular rotator cuff tissue, creating the healing environment the tendon cannot generate on its own. For calcific deposits we combine Prolozone with Shockwave Therapy which breaks down the calcific deposit mechanically.
AC Joint, Bursitis, Impingement and Post Surgical Shoulder
AC joint pain, subacromial bursitis and impingement all respond well to Prolozone and Prolotherapy. For post surgical shoulder presentations where scar tissue and nerve sensitisation are maintaining symptoms, Hydro-Release and Neuro Prolotherapy address the specific components that physiotherapy alone cannot resolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Prolozone treat frozen shoulder without surgery?
Yes — Prolozone delivered into the glenohumeral joint and surrounding capsular tissue addresses both the inflammatory and fibrotic components of frozen shoulder simultaneously, significantly accelerating the recovery timeline. Most patients notice meaningful improvement in pain and range of movement within three to four sessions.
How long does frozen shoulder treatment take at Proback?
Most frozen shoulder patients complete a course of four to six Prolozone and Prolotherapy sessions. Results continue to develop for several weeks after the final session as the capsule continues to recover. This is significantly faster than the natural two to three year resolution timeline.
Can Prolotherapy repair a rotator cuff tear without surgery?
For partial tears and tendinopathy yes — Prolotherapy and Prolozone stimulate new collagen production and improve the healing environment within the damaged tendon. For complete full thickness tears surgery may be the more appropriate option. A thorough assessment at consultation gives a clear picture of what is realistic for each patient.
How is Prolozone different from a steroid injection for shoulder pain?
Steroid injections suppress inflammation temporarily but do not repair the underlying tissue damage and can weaken tendons and ligaments with repeated use. Prolozone works in the opposite direction — stimulating the body’s own repair process and improving oxygenation within the damaged tissue. Results tend to be significantly more lasting.
Does Proback treat calcific shoulder tendinopathy?
Yes — we use a combination of Prolozone and Shockwave Therapy for calcific deposits in the rotator cuff. Shockwave breaks down the calcific deposit mechanically while Prolozone addresses the surrounding tendon damage and inflammation.
