MCD Treatment Procedure

Dr. O’s specialized non-surgical operation to cure adhesive Capsulitis frozen shoulder is a novel method that ensures a fast resolution of pain and a return to the functional ability for frozen shoulder sufferers. Considered a medical breakthrough, the manual capsular dissection (MCD) procedure, formerly known as OAT procedure, is a truly revolutionary non-surgical operation developed by world-renowned frozen shoulder expert, Dr. Allan Gary Oolo-Austin at the world frozen shoulder clinics. It has had 98% clinical success in restoring range of motion and functionality to frozen shoulders.

Our unique method involves Dr. Oolo-Austin isolating the adhesive tissue inside and outside the shoulder capsule and separating it using extremely specific patient movements in conjunction with very specific mobilization procedures. Unlike orthoscopic surgery, the MCD Procedure is completely non-invasive and does not involve cutting into the shoulder. While performed in a hospital operating room, unlike manipulation under general anesthesia, we utilize local anesthetics and IV analgesics for a safer and more effective approach.

Dr. O’s MCD Procedure is completed in about an hour.  It is literally over before you know it. You will walk in painfully unable to move your shoulder and walk out almost fully functional . (Specific  rehab exercises designed by Dr. Oolo-Austin are needed post-op to neurologically re-educate the unused shoulder muscles and maintain active range of motion. ) You will walk into our clinic unable to put your coat on yourself, unable to put your hand on your hip, unable to wash your hair with the affected arm, and often unable to work. After the MCD Procedure, these everyday activities will be  returned to you within days or, at most, weeks.

It can be very frustrating experience going to doctor after doctor, and therapist after therapist who can’t seem to pinpoint the exact cause of your lack of mobility and shoulder pain. Even if they do correctly diagnose frozen shoulder, they certainly cannot cure it for you. Once a proper diagnosis finally has been made, often the only proposed solution is cortisone injections or surgery followed by a long and painful recovery and rehabilitation process. Surgery, whether it helps or not, still requires up to 9 months of heavy post-op physiotherapy sessions in an attempt to heal the damage inflicted to the tissues from the surgery itself. No matter which way you look at it, cutting open your body should always be your last resort.

Dr. Oolo-Austin’s MCD Procedure has been incredibly successful and is the first of its kind in the world. The MCD Procedure is performed with the patient relatively conscious and interactively participating to ensure than no damage occurs to the joint or surrounding tissues. Every person is unique, and this is one medical procedure that truly takes this fact into account. That’s why you need to know how our frozen shoulder diagnosis works.
