What is Frozen Shoulder ?

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, represents a painful condition characterized by progressive stiffness and the loss of motion in the shoulder joint. This ailment begins insidiously, with the shoulder gradually becoming more painful and difficult to move. Unlike other conditions that might affect the shoulder, adhesive capsulitis specifically targets the capsule of the shoulder joint, causing it to become inflamed and contract. This contraction leads to a thickening of the capsule, significantly restricting shoulder movements and making everyday activities challenging and painful.

The impact of frozen shoulder extends beyond physical discomfort, affecting individuals' ability to work, engage in physical activities, and even perform simple daily tasks. Effective management of this condition requires a comprehensive understanding of its mechanisms, a task that challenges healthcare professionals and physiotherapists dedicated to alleviating the pain and restoring mobility to those affected by this condition.

Common Causes of Frozen Shoulder

The exact cause of frozen shoulder remains somewhat elusive; however, it is often associated with downtime or immobility resulting from an injury, surgery, or disease. There are primary and secondary types of frozen shoulder:

Primary adhesive capsulitis occurs without an identifiable cause.
Secondary adhesive capsulitis results from an underlying condition or event that affects shoulder mobility, such as fractures, dislocations, or surgery. Risk factors can include trauma to the shoulder area, diabetes, stroke, and conditions requiring prolonged shoulder immobility.

Frozen Shoulder's Signs and Symptoms

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of frozen shoulder is crucial for early intervention. Common Symptoms of frozen shoulder include persistent pain, stiffness in the shoulder, difficulty with routine activities such as dressing or reaching overhead, and disturbed sleep due to shoulder discomfort. These Symptoms typically develop gradually and are divided into three stages:

Freezing Stage: Movement of the shoulder causes pain, and range of motion starts to become limited.
Frozen Stage: Pain may reduce compared to the first stage, but the shoulder becomes stiffer, and using it becomes more difficult.
Thawing Stage: The range of motion begins to improve, though full recovery may take time.

Physiotherapy Treatment in Frozen Shoulder Recovery

Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in the treatment of frozen shoulder, offering a beacon of hope for those suffering from this debilitating condition. Our clinic adopts a comprehensive approach to frozen shoulder treatment, tailored to each phase of the condition and the individual needs of our patients. Treatment modalities include:

Manual Therapy: Techniques such as massage, mobilization, and manipulation to increase movement in the shoulder joint and reduce pain.
Exercise Therapy: Customized exercises aimed at restoring range of motion, strengthening shoulder muscles, and improving functionality. These exercises are designed to be progressive, starting with gentle stretching to more active strength exercises as the patient's condition improves.
Pain Management: Utilization of modalities such as ultrasound therapy and dry needling to manage pain and inflammation.
Education and Support: Providing patients with the knowledge and tools to manage their condition at home, including advice on activities to avoid and exercises to continue their recovery.
