What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder occurs when the shoulder joint is not only stiff but also inflamed and painful and this is because of the thickening and shrinking of the joint capsule. Gradually, motions get more and more restricted, resulting in pain and limited arm movement.

 

In most cases, frozen shoulder develops slowly and has different stages. Timely detection and proper orthopedic treatment are capable of minimizing the pain and enhancing the results of recovery.

 

For those who have extreme shoulder pain, our doctors are also available for consultation regarding our Shoulder Pain Treatment services for full orthopedic care.

Stages of Frozen Shoulder

Typically, frozen shoulder goes through three stages:

Freezing Stage

During this phase, the pain increases and the range of motion in the shoulder is gradually reduced. It might be challenging to carry out your usual activities.

Frozen Stage

The pain might not be as intense, but the shoulder stiffness worsens and the mobility is significantly limited.

Thawing Stage

With adequate treatment and physical therapy, the shoulder gradually regains its function and becomes more flexible.

 

Knowing about the symptoms and changes in the patient caused by the different stages of frozen shoulder enables the specialists to devise the treatment schedule that works best.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder

There are a number of reasons why someone might develop frozen shoulder.

Shoulder Injury or Surgery

The trauma to the shoulder as well as a period of immobilization after a surgical procedure can cause a frozen shoulder.

Diabetes

Those who have diabetes can generally be at a higher risk of developing adhesive capsulitis.

Prolonged Immobility

If the shoulder is left inactive without motion for a long time after an injury or illness, the consequence is very likely to be stiffness.

Age and Gender

Frozen shoulder in most cases impacts people between 40 and 60 years old, and women are more susceptible to the condition.

Other Medical Conditions

Besides thyroid problems, the risk may also be increased by conditions such as heart disease and Parkinson's disease.
