Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, causes progressive stiffness and pain that can severely restrict shoulder movement. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides comprehensive frozen shoulder treatment in Indore, helping patients regain mobility through a structured, stage-based approach to care.

About Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Frozen shoulder develops when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, restricting movement. The condition typically progresses through three stages: freezing (increasing pain and stiffness), frozen (persistent stiffness with reduced pain), and thawing (gradual return of motion). It is more common in people with diabetes, thyroid disorders, or those who have kept a shoulder immobile after injury or surgery. Without proper management, frozen shoulder can take a year or longer to resolve on its own.

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder Treatment

• Gradual onset of shoulder stiffness
• Pain that worsens with movement, especially at night
• Significant loss of range of motion in all directions
• Difficulty with tasks like dressing or reaching overhead
• Muscle tightness around the shoulder joint

Causes of Frozen Shoulder Treatment

• Prolonged immobilization after injury or surgery
• Diabetes and other endocrine disorders
• Inflammation of the shoulder joint capsule
• Age, most common between 40 and 60 years
• Previous shoulder surgery or trauma

Diagnosis

• Clinical assessment of active and passive range of motion
• X-ray to rule out arthritis or other joint pathology
• MRI in select cases to confirm capsular thickening

Treatment Options

• Structured physiotherapy and stretching program
• Anti-inflammatory medication for pain control
• Intra-articular corticosteroid injections
• Hydrodilatation to stretch the joint capsule
• Manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release for resistant cases
