Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition in which the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, with limited range of motion. Inflammation and scarring of the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint causes this pain.
The capsule thickens over time which limits movement. When it does start to improve it tends to be a slow process but your shoulder may always have some movement restriction in the future. Although the pain usually gets better, it may never go away completely.
At Revolve Physiotherapy in Milton, we offer physiotherapy and treatment for shoulder concerns such as shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tendonitis, rotator cuff tear, impingement syndrome. Also, pre and post-shoulder surgery, shoulder dislocations and shoulder separations.
The symptoms typically develop slowly over time and is divided into three stages:
Freezing stage: This is characterized by pain and stiffness in the shoulder, which progressively worsens over several weeks or months. The range of motion in the shoulder begins to decrease during this stage.
Frozen stage: During this stage, the pain may lessen, but the stiffness in the shoulder remains, and the range of motion is severely limited.
Thawing stage: The range of motion in the shoulder gradually improves, and the pain subsides. This stage can last for several months to a year.
Fortunately, at Revolve Physiotherapy we offer several options of physiotherapy treatments, with the aim of finding the definitive cure for your frozen slouder.
