Adhesive Capsulitis/Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes thickened and tight, leading to inflammation and adhesions that restrict movement. The exact cause of frozen shoulder is often unknown, but it can be associated with underlying conditions, such as diabetes or shoulder trauma. Treatment typically involves pain management, gentle stretching exercises, physical therapy, and in some cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery to alleviate symptoms and improve shoulder mobility.
Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, is usually treated through a combination of conservative measures and targeted interventions. Treatment typically includes pain management techniques, such as over-the-counter pain medications or corticosteroid injections to alleviate discomfort. Physical therapy plays a crucial role, with gentle stretching exercises and manual therapy techniques aimed at improving shoulder mobility. In some cases, surgical intervention may be considered if conservative treatments fail to provide relief. The specific treatment approach depends on the severity of the condition and individual patient factors, and consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary for personalized treatment planning.
