Frozen shoulder occurs when the ligaments surrounding The shoulder joint swell and get stiff and result in restricting the mobility. Usually, people are diagnosed with the problem in only one of their shoulders, but sometimes it may affect the ligaments in both shoulders.<\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">Frozen shoulder occurs when the strong tissue surrounding the shoulder (called The shoulder joint capsule) become thick, stiff, and inflamed. The condition is called \u2018frozen\u2019 shoulder because the more pain that is felt, the less likely the shoulder will be used. Lack of use causes the shoulder capsule to thicken and becomes tight, making the shoulder even more difficult to move &#8212; it\u2019s \u2018frozen\u2019 in its position.<\/p>\n<h3  class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">Who is at risk for developing frozen shoulder?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>Age<\/strong>: Affects adults between the ages of 40 and 60, but this condition can occur at any age.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>Gender<\/strong>: More common in women than men.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>Diabetes<\/strong>: People with diabetes are twice as likely to develop frozen shoulder than people without diabetes. Those with diabetes are also more likely to develop severe symptoms that are more difficult to treat.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>Other health diseases and conditions<\/strong>: Dupuytren\u2019s contracture (a tissue disorder in the hands that causes fingers to bend) are at an increased risk of frozen shoulder, calcific tendonitis and rotator cuff tear , after an injury, overuse, heart disease, stroke, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland), Parkinson\u2019s disease etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3  class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">What are the signs and symptoms of frozen shoulder?<\/h3>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">Symptoms of frozen shoulder are divided into three stages:<\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>1. The \u2018freezing\u2019 stage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">The shoulder becomes stiff and is painful to move. The pain slowly increases. It may worsen at night. Inability to move the shoulder increases. This stage lasts 6 weeks to 9 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>2. The \u2018frozen\u2019 stage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">In this stage, pain may lessen, but the shoulder remains stiff. This makes it more difficult to complete daily tasks and activities. This stage lasts 2 to 6 months.<\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>3. The \u2018thawing\u2019 (recovery) stage:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">In this stage, pain lessens, and ability to move the shoulder slowly improves. Full or near full recovery occurs as normal strength and motion return. The stage lasts 6 months to 2 years.<\/p>\n<h3  class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">How is frozen shoulder diagnosed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">To diagnose frozen shoulder, your doctor will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">a.) Discuss your symptoms and review your medical history.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">b.) Conduct a physical exam of your arms and shoulders:\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">&#8211; The doctor will move your shoulder in all directions to check the range of motion and if there is pain with movement. This type of exam, in which your doctor is moving your arm and not you, is called determining your\u201cpassive range of motion.\u201d<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">&#8211; The doctor will also watch you move your shoulder to see your \u201cactive range of motion.\u201d<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">&#8211; The two types of motion are compared. People with frozen shoulder have limited range of both active and passive motion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">c.) Imaging tests, such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound, are usually not needed to diagnose frozen shoulder. They may be taken to look for other problems, such as arthritis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3  class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">What are the treatments for frozen shoulder?<\/h3>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">The aim of treatment for frozen shoulder is to alleviate pain and preserve mobility and flexibility in the shoulder. However, recovery may be slow, as symptoms tend to persist for several years. If the problem persists, therapy and surgery may be needed to regain motion if it doesn\u2019t return on its own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:40px; margin-bottom:3px;\">Some simple treatments include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">\t<strong>1. Hot and cold compresses<\/strong> &#8211; These help reduce pain and swelling.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">\t<strong>2. Medicines that reduce pain and swelling<\/strong> &#8211; These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and acetaminophen (Tylenol) &#8211; Other painkiller\/anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed by your doctor. More severe pain and swelling may be managed by steroid injections. A corticosteroid, such as cortisone, is injected directly into The shoulder joint.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">\t<strong>3. Physical therapy<\/strong> &#8211; Stretching and range of motion exercises taught by a physical therapist.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/exercise01-300x161.gif\" alt=\"Excercise for physical therapy\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6134\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">\t<strong>4. Home exercise program<\/strong> &#8211; Continue exercise program at home.<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">\t<strong>5. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)<\/strong> &#8211; Use of a mall battery-operated device that reduces pain by blocking nerve impulses. If these simple treatments have not relieved pain and shoulder stiffness after about a year trial, other procedures may be tried. These include:\n<div class=\"img-box\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/467946818_XS-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6131\" style=\"border:1px solid gray; border-radius:20px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"width:300px;\">Injection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>6. Shoulder manipulation<\/strong> &#8211; The shoulder joint is gently moved while you are under a general anesthetic (a drug that makes you completely unconscious).<\/li>\n<li class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><strong>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/shoulder-arthroscopy.php\"> Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Your doctor will cut through the tight parts of your joint capsule (capsular release). Small pencil-sized instruments are inserted through small cuts around your shoulder.\n<div class=\"img-box\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/shoulder_arthroscopy_intro01-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Shoulder Arthroscopy Surgery\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6137\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"width:300px;\">Surgery<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-top:40px; margin-bottom:3px;\">These two procedures are often used together to get better results.<\/p>\n<h3  class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">What\u2019s the outlook for frozen shoulder?<\/h3>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \">Simple treatments, such as use of pain relievers and shoulder exercises, in combination with a cortisone injection, are often enough to restore motion and function within a year or less. Even left completely untreated, range of motion and use of the shoulder continue to get better on their own, but often over a slower course of time. Full or nearly full recovery is seen after about 2 years.<\/p>\n<p  class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \" style=\"margin-top:40px; margin-bottom:3px;\"><strong>Frozen shoulder home exercises<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\" animated fadeInUp duration1 eds-on-scroll \"><div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-6123-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"352\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Shoulder-Elevation-in-lying.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Shoulder-Elevation-in-lying.mp4\">https:\/\/www.aasthajoints.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Shoulder-Elevation-in-lying.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols type_default valign_top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h2><strong>What is Frozen Shoulder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Frozen shoulder<\/strong>, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition in which the movement of the shoulder becomes restricted.
