Understanding Your Frozen Shoulder

If you've been diagnosed with a "frozen" shoulder, you most likely suffer from severe long lasting pain coupled with difficulty moving the shoulder joint. This is a general term for a condition called adhesive capsulitis, in which the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and stiff, greatly restricting motion.

Adhesive capsulitis is a very common disorder that primarily targets females between the ages 40-65. Frozen shoulder symptoms are primarily spontaneous as a result of previous injuries or disorders.
​
For complete restoration of shoulder mobility and function, seek a physical therapist to preform shoulder joint mobilizations, modalities (manual therapy), stretches and active range of motion exercises. Results can be seen in a few sessions and full recovery in as little as 6 months. If you're struggling to perform daily activities as a result of severe shoulder stiffness and pain, it is essential to seek medical help as soon as possible for a speedy recovery.
