Frozen Shoulder
About Frozen Shoulder Treatment
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It develops when the tissues around the shoulder joint become thickened and tight, leading to restricted mobility. The condition typically progresses through three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing, each with varying levels of pain and stiffness. Left untreated, frozen shoulder can last for months or even years, significantly impacting daily activities.
At our center, we offer targeted treatments designed to reduce pain, restore mobility, and accelerate recovery. Our approach includes physical therapy, stretching exercises, and pain management techniques to help improve shoulder function and prevent long-term complications.
Our team of experts provides personalized treatment plans to ensure safe and effective recovery from frozen shoulder, improving quality of life and helping you regain full shoulder function.
Conditions Treated for Frozen Shoulder:
- Primary frozen shoulder (no known cause).
- Secondary frozen shoulder (following surgery, injury, or prolonged immobilization).
- Post-traumatic stiffness in the shoulder.
