Frozen Shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and restricted movement of the shoulder joint. It develops gradually and can make everyday activities such as lifting the arm, dressing, driving, or reaching overhead extremely difficult. The condition is commonly seen in individuals with diabetes, those recovering from shoulder injuries or surgery, and adults between the ages of 40 and 60.
At Samarth Orthopaedic and Trauma Centre, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment for frozen shoulder, focusing on relieving pain, restoring shoulder mobility, and helping patients return to their normal daily activities.
What Frozen Shoulder Treatment Involves
Treatment for frozen shoulder aims to reduce pain, improve joint flexibility, and restore the full range of shoulder motion. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may include non-surgical therapies or surgical intervention when conservative methods do not provide sufficient relief.
Types of Frozen Shoulder Treatments
Medication Management: Anti-inflammatory medications and pain relievers help reduce pain and inflammation during the early stages.
Physiotherapy: A structured rehabilitation program involving stretching and strengthening exercises gradually restores shoulder mobility and function.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: In selected cases, injections or manipulation under anesthesia may be recommended to improve joint movement.
Arthroscopic Shoulder Release: For severe or persistent cases, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery is performed to release the tightened joint capsule and improve mobility.
