What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Adhesive Capsulitis
Frozen Shoulder, known in the medical community as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that leads to a painful loss of range of motion in the shoulder joint. It causes persistent shoulder pain, inflammation and stiffness in the connective tissue of the shoulder.
Frozen shoulder causes the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint to contract and form scar tissue, which causes a painful restriction in range of motion. The condition is known to gradually worsen over time. These persistent symptoms can make daily tasks extremely painful and challenging.
However, if diagnosed early,
there is a non-invasive chiropractic treatment that offers outstanding results. There is zero downtime for recovery and no rehabilitation required.

What Causes Frozen Shoulder?
It’s so easy to take our bodies for granted. We don’t realize how much we use our shoulders until everyday movements cause pain. It can be painful to reach for the top shelf, pick up a child, or just wash your hair. Does this sound familiar?
You might be surprised to learn that your shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body. The downside to that mobility is that shoulders are vulnerable to a wide range of injuries. It could be from an abnormal movement you made, an athletic injury, an accident. Sometimes patients say they aren’t even really sure when the pain began.
Frozen Shoulder Symptoms
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to talk with a medical professional:
- Shoulder pain that lasts for more than a week
- Shoulder pain that goes away and then returns frequently
- Difficulty raising your arm above your head
- Trouble or pain when carrying objects
- Pain in the shoulder joint that becomes more pronounced in the evening
- Bruising or swelling
- Unusual snapping or clicking sensations in the shoulder joint during movement
Shoulder pain and abnormal motion in the joint may develop gradually or come on suddenly. Even shoulder injuries that start off being quite subtle can develop into major issues when left untreated
It’s My Rotator Cuff
Many people over 40 experiencing shoulder pain may believe they have a rotator cuff issue, or the start of arthritis. Their misconception leads them to put off getting a diagnosis to avoid surgery or long-term physical therapy. In reality, many people are unknowingly suffering from a condition called frozen shoulder.
FROZEN SHOULDER TREATMENT
Delaying a proper diagnosis and treatment can lead to lifelong, debilitating issues.
