Frozen Shoulder

Frozen Shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a common but often misunderstood condition that causes pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and can significantly impact daily activities, making it difficult to lift, reach, or perform routine tasks.

The condition progresses through three stages:

1. Freezing Stage – Shoulder pain increases, and movement becomes progressively restricted.

2. Frozen Stage – Pain may reduce slightly, but stiffness becomes more severe.

3. Thawing Stage – Shoulder mobility slowly improves, though full recovery can take months.

Frozen Shoulder is more common in individuals between the ages of 40 and 60, and women are more frequently affected than men. The exact cause is not always clear, but risk factors include diabetes, thyroid disorders, prolonged immobility after an injury or surgery, and certain chronic conditions.

At our hospital, we provide a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating Frozen Shoulder. Our specialists begin with a detailed physical examination and advanced imaging, if necessary, to assess the severity of the condition. Treatment is usually non-surgical in most cases and focuses on pain relief, reducing stiffness, and restoring mobility.

Treatment options include:

• Medications to manage pain and inflammation.

• Physiotherapy with tailored exercises to gently restore flexibility and strength.

• Steroid injections for pain and inflammation control in severe cases.

• Minimally invasive procedures like arthroscopic release, recommended only when conservative treatments fail.

Our multidisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists ensures that patients receive personalized care plans. We emphasize early diagnosis and timely intervention, which can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the duration of the condition.

With expert medical guidance, advanced physiotherapy, and modern treatment options, we help patients regain shoulder function and return to their daily activities with confidence.

If you are experiencing persistent shoulder pain and stiffness, don’t ignore it. Early consultation can prevent worsening of Frozen Shoulder and ensure faster recovery.
