Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Whether you’re visiting a pain management clinic in Jaipur or seeking a physiotherapist in Jaipur understanding the causes and treatments of frozen shoulder is crucial.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder:

  • Injury: Shoulder injuries from sports, accidents, or falls can lead to the development of frozen shoulder due to prolonged immobility.
  • Surgery: Post-surgical immobility, especially after procedures on or near the shoulder joint, can increase the risk of developing frozen shoulder.
  • Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular disease are associated with a higher risk of frozen shoulder
  • Inflammation: Inflammatory conditions affecting the shoulder joint can contribute to the development of frozen shoulder.
  • Age and Gender: Frozen shoulder is more common in individuals aged 40-60 and is more prevalent in women.

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder:

  • Pain: Persistent pain in the shoulder, which can worsen at night and interfere with sleep.
  • Stiffness: Significant reduction in the range of motion, making it difficult to perform everyday activities such as reaching or lifting.
  • Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the shoulder in all directions, often accompanied by a feeling of tightness.
  • Gradual Onset: Symptoms typically develop gradually and worsen over time, often progressing through stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing.

Stages of Frozen Shoulder:

  • Freezing Stage: Gradual onset of shoulder pain and stiffness, which worsens over time. Range of motion in the shoulder joint may become increasingly limited.
  • Frozen Stage: Persistent shoulder stiffness and pain with movement. Significant limitation in range of motion, making daily activities difficult.
  • Thawing Stage: Gradual improvement in shoulder pain and stiffness, with range of motion slowly returning. This stage can last several months to years.
