Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and limited movement in the shoulder joint. It develops gradually and can significantly impact daily activities. The condition progresses in three stages—freezing, frozen, and thawing—each lasting several months.


Causes of Frozen Shoulder:
  • Prolonged immobility due to injury or surgery
  • Diabetes and other metabolic conditions
  • Hormonal imbalances (common in postmenopausal women)
  • Inflammatory conditions like arthritis
  • Autoimmune disorders
Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder:
  • Persistent pain in the shoulder joint
  • Stiffness making arm movements difficult
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Increased pain at night, affecting sleep
  • Difficulty performing routine tasks like dressing or lifting objects
Treatment Options:
  • Physical Therapy – Exercises to improve mobility and reduce stiffness
  • Medications – Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs
  • Ozone or Steroid Injections – To reduce inflammation and pain
  • Hydrodilation Therapy – Injecting fluid into the joint to improve movement
  • Surgery (in severe cases) – Shoulder manipulation or arthroscopic surgery
Prevention & Pain Management:
  • Regular shoulder exercises to maintain flexibility
  • Avoid prolonged immobility after injury or surgery
  • Maintain good posture while sitting or working
  • Apply heat or cold packs to prevent stiffness
  • Seek early medical intervention if discomfort arises

Frozen shoulder can be a long-lasting and painful condition, but with timely treatment and consistent rehabilitation, full recovery is possible.
