Frozen shoulder is a fairly common condition that leads to pain and stiffness of the shoulder.
The condition is most common in people in their 50s and 60s and rarely affects anyone younger than 40. Women are more often affected than men.
The stiffness may affect your ability to carry out everyday activities. In particularly severe cases, you may not be able to move your shoulder at all.
It also seems to be more common among:
● People who have been immobilized for prolonged periods
● People who have had a stroke
● People who have Parkinson disease
● People who have taken antiretroviral medications (particularly medications called protease inhibitors) to treat HIV infection
● People who have diseases affecting the thyroid gland, a gland in the neck that produces hormones that control how the body uses and stores energy.
Of the number of cases we have treated at Krumur Clinic, we have seen a pattern of biomechanical imbalances developed over years which lead to the joints becoming inflamed and scar tissues being formed. As this happens, the tissues inside the shoulder joint shrink and harden, making the shoulder harder to move.
People who have frozen shoulder often go through 2 phases of symptoms:
It is true that in most cases, frozen shoulder gets better on its own, even without treatment. However, there are cases in which people never regain the full range of motion they had before.
It is important to note that recovery can be a slow process and that you need to give treatment time to work. At Krumur Clinic, treatment options include medications to manage pain and inflammation and a 3 to 6 Month Exercise programme with the following focus
