FROZEN SHOULDER

HOW CAN WE HELP?

WHAT IS

FROZEN SHOULDER?

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and a limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. The condition occurs when the shoulder capsule thickens and tightens around the joint, restricting movement. Frozen shoulder is often triggered by injury, surgery, or prolonged immobility and is most common in people aged 40 to 60. Without proper treatment, it can significantly impact daily activities and overall quality of life.

  • The frozen shoulder goes through a painful phase, frozen phase and thawing phase (and takes about 6 months per phase without treatment). Spencers Technique helps to break down the adhesive fibres of the muscles that are stuck together and will help the frozen shoulder to go through the phases much quicker, restoring movement and easing pain.

  • Dry needling can help the muscles that are in spasm around the shoulder to relax and thus easing pain and restoring function.

  • Adjustments help the spine to move better and the nervous system to function optimally, which helps with the body’s ability to heal and allow for better movement through the upper back and shoulders.

  • Sports therapy is very useful at mobilising the shoulder and giving corrective exercises for each phase of the frozen shoulder, as well as strengthening the shoulder to reduce the chance of frozen shoulder occurring again in the future.

HOW CAN

OUR CLINIC

HELP?

Our clinic offers comprehensive care for frozen shoulder, using chiropractic adjustments and sports therapy to improve shoulder joint mobility. These adjustments help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Our therapists also provide targeted exercises and massage techniques to restore shoulder flexibility and strength, ensuring effective and lasting relief.

  • REDUCE PAIN & INFLAMMATION

    Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate joint pain by realigning the affected joints and reducing inflammation. This realignment eases pressure on the surrounding tissues, helping to relieve pain and improve joint function.

  • MUSCLE STRENGTHENING

    Chiropractic care, combined with massage therapy, helps to strengthen the muscles surrounding the painful joints. Strengthening these muscles provides better support to the joints, reducing strain and helping to prevent further injury or discomfort.

  • IMPROVED JOINT MOBILITY

    Massage therapy complements chiropractic care by improving joint mobility. By targeting tight muscles and soft tissues around the affected joints, massage therapy helps to increase flexibility and reduce stiffness, allowing for smoother and more pain-free movement.

  • LONG-TERM JOINT HEALTH

    Both chiropractic and massage therapy focus on long-term joint health by addressing the root causes of joint pain. Regular treatments help to maintain joint alignment, reduce chronic pain, and promote overall joint health, leading to sustained relief and improved quality of life
