Frozen shoulder is a condition where an individual will experience pain and stiffness in the shoulder and is not able to lift the arm over the head. Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and restricted range of movement in the shoulder. This condition is medically known as "adhesive capsulitis." However, the adhesive capsulitis is a specific condition where there is a slow onset of stiffness and pain in one shoulder due to inflammation and tightening of the joint capsule. Usually the terms frozen shoulder and adhesive capsulitis are used alternately. 💡 PHASES Clinical presentation is typically in three overlapping phases: 🔁 Phase 1 – lasting 2 months to 9 months. Painful phase, with progressive and increasing pain on movement. Pain tends to be constant and diagnosis in the early stages before movement is lost can be difficult. 🔁 Phase 2 – lasting 4 months to 12 months. Stiffening or freezing, where there is gradual reduction of pain but stiffness persists with considerable restriction in range of motion. Pain pattern changes from constant to end range pain of reduced intensity. 🔁 Phase 3 – lasting 12 months to 42 months. Resolution or thawing phase, where there is improvement in range of motion with resolution of stiffness. End range pain may persist until full resolution. 💡 TREATMENT In most of the cases adhesive capsulitis resolves on its own over a period of a year to year-and-a-half. Treatment for adhesive capsulitis basically focuses on alleviating pain and trying to preserve as much range of motion as possible in the affected shoulder. ➡️ EXERCISE Stretching exercises are usually the cornerstone of treating frozen shoulder. Here are just a few. 1. Cross-body arm stretch 2. Pendulum stretch 3. Arm circles 4. Towel stretch ➡️ MASSAGE Massage therapy is very beneficial in treating frozen shoulder as it increases the blood circulation to the injured region and also reduces the formation of scar tissue. Regular massage should be done to reduce the muscle stiffness. The pain and stiffness usually gets relieved after several massage treatments.
