Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and restricted movement of the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually and can make everyday activities such as dressing, reaching overhead, lifting objects, or moving the arm behind the back difficult. The condition may progress through different stages and can take several months to improve.

Our specialized care focuses on identifying the underlying cause of shoulder pain and stiffness and developing an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's symptoms, mobility, and overall condition. Early evaluation can help manage pain and support gradual improvement in shoulder movement.

Comprehensive Evaluation & Treatment

Diagnosis is generally based on medical history, physical examination, assessment of shoulder movement, and, when required, imaging investigations to rule out other causes of pain and stiffness.

Treatment may include activity modification, pain-relieving medication when appropriate, physiotherapy, stretching and mobility exercises, and other non-surgical approaches. In selected patients with persistent symptoms or significant restriction of movement, additional treatments or procedures may be considered. The treatment plan is tailored according to the severity and stage of the condition.

Importance of Early Evaluation

Persistent shoulder pain, stiffness, or difficulty moving the arm should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional. Early assessment can help identify the cause of restricted movement and guide an appropriate treatment and rehabilitation plan.
