Chiropractic care for frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder very debilitating. You really can’t appreciate how important and how much you use your shoulders until you suffer with frozen shoulder. It is literally frozen, the movement from the shoulder completely disappears.
The first thing that most people notice is pain and stiffness in the shoulder. It is can really affect anyone at any time, but most commonly is diagnosed in people between 40 and 70 years of age. Women are slightly more inclined to suffer with frozen shoulder than men.
The shoulder gives us a huge range of motion, which allows us to move our arm and hand in a variety of positions and complete complex tasks. The shoulder is able to perform these functions because of its shape, the shoulder joint is a ‘ball and socket’ joint. The cause of frozen shoulder is still somewhat a mystery, we do know the condition begins with initial pain, following by loss of range of motion which normally then starts to recover.
Frozen shoulder is a slow and progressive condition. Symptoms of the disorder can take up to a year to fully develop, with the pain levels increasing over time. As chemical changes take place in the shoulder joint, thick strands of tissue called adhesions form and begin to restrict mobility. The lubricating synovial capsule in the shoulder joint thickens and provides less lubrication. By the time the sufferer begins to notice a significant issue in lack of mobility, the disorder has set in and requires treatment.
