Frozen Shoulder Thawed: Understanding, Causes, and Recovery

Frozen Shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joints. It often develops in three stages: the painful stage in which movement is limited, the frozen stage in which pain may subside but stiffness remains, and finally the thawing stage in which movement gradually returns.

De oorzaken van een Frozen Shoulder

The possible causes of Frozen Shoulder can vary and sometimes include unclear factors. It can occur after a period of immobilization of the shoulder, such as after an injury or surgery. Other risk factors include certain medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Also, people with a history of shoulder problems may be more susceptible to this condition. For a thorough analysis and understanding of these causes, professional medical advice is essential.

Een uitgebreid, op maat gemaakt behandelplan

Physical therapy exercises are often used to treat Frozen Shoulder to improve range of motion and reduce pain. Pain management may include medications, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections. In some cases, surgery, such as a capsulotomy or arthroscopy, may be considered to release the tight shoulder capsule. Occupational therapy helps modify daily activities to prevent further stress on the shoulder

Cardo Healthcare’s approach to Frozen Shoulder is multidisciplinary. Medications may be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation. Physical therapy plays a critical role in increasing range of motion through specific exercises. Occupational therapy can help modify daily activities to prevent further stress on the shoulder.
