Battling stubborn, achy shoulder pain can turn the simplest activities into daunting challenges. We understand how taxing this can be, which is precisely why we've poured our energy into exploring relief for those suffering from a frozen shoulder.
In our latest blog post, we unwrap the potential of chiropractic methods designed to improve flexibility and soothe pain. Join us as we journey towards regaining a smoother, more comfortable range of motion in your shoulder.
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder thickens and becomes tight, limiting movement.
Understanding the causes and symptoms of a frozen shoulder can help you seek appropriate treatment to improve mobility and relieve pain.
A frozen shoulder happens when the shoulder capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint. This restricts movement and causes pain. The exact cause isn't always clear, but it can follow an injury, or repetitive strain or surgery.
Risk factors include diabetes, stroke, accidents, heart disease, and overuse of the shoulder.
The symptoms start gradually with mild aches in the upper arm bone and progress to severe stiffness and pain in the shoulder muscles. You might find simple tasks like dressing or reaching overhead becoming tough.
These signs mark different stages of a frozen shoulder: freezing with increasing pain; frozen where pain might ease but movement is very limited; and thawing as motion slowly returns to normal.
We need to understand our shoulders' anatomy to grasp how chiropractic care helps. Your shoulder has several key parts: the collarbone, shoulder blade, the upper arm bone, and of course, the rotator cuff.
This group is made up of muscles and tendons that keep the arm in its ball and socket joint.
Keeping these parts healthy ensures strong connective tissue and good shoulder movement. The joint capsule that surrounds the ball and socket is lined with soft tissues producing synovial fluid for lubrication.
When everything works well together, your shoulders can move freely without any pain or stiffness.
Our chiropractors use hands-on spinal adjustments to aid in the relief of frozen shoulder discomfort and enhance movement.
Customised treatments, including manipulation, Ultrasound therapy, electrical stimulation, decompression, and stretching, target musculoskeletal issues. Our goal is to gradually improve your range of motion and mobility. Regular visits can lead to significant relief from frozen shoulder symptoms.
During our assessment, we examine your shoulder's movement, checking for pain and stiffness. We identify tight spots and tenderness, observing how you use your arm in daily activities.
X-ray scans may be recommended for a comprehensive understanding, ensuring personalised and effective care for your frozen shoulder.
In conclusion, chiropractic care aids in the relief of and improves mobility for frozen shoulder. Patients benefit from non-invasive treatments such as chiropractic adjustments and decompression therapy.
This approach prioritises drug-free and surgery-free solutions to alleviate pain and restore shoulder function. With personalised treatment plans and proactive patient education, chiropractic care plays a significant role in managing and preventing frozen shoulder syndrome.
