 What Is Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)?Frozen shoulder is an inflammation of the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. It usually occurs when connective tissue around the joint becomes thickened and tightens up over time. The resulting restriction of movement causes restricted mobility and discomfort due to tension on ligaments and muscles. While there is no one specific cause for developing this condition, some factors such as age, diabetes, trauma and surgery can increase risk of acquiring frozen shoulder.Treatment options vary depending on the severity and include physical therapy exercises, medications to reduce inflammation, steroid injections and in severe cases, surgery. Physical therapy exercises are typically recommended first before any other treatments since they help with stretching out affected tissues while strengthening supporting muscles around them to improve overall flexibility of the joint. Medications may be prescribed alongside physical therapy if necessary to provide relief from pain or swelling caused by adhesive capsulitis. Steroid injections offer short-term relief but should only be used as a last resort due to potential risks associated with them. Surgery is reserved for those whose symptoms are not relieved after trying multiple conservative treatment methods.No matter what type of treatment option chosen, early intervention is key to managing frozen shoulder effectively. In addition to seeking medical advice from a healthcare professional right away, performing regular stretches and strength training exercises at home can speed recovery process along significantly.Core Health Darien551 Post RoadDarien Ct 06820203-656-3636Have a Question?
