Frozen Shoulder
What is frozen shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. The condition occurs when the capsule that surrounds the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and thickened, limiting the range of motion of the joint.
How does Chiropractic treatment help with frozen shoulder?
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive approach to treating frozen shoulder that focuses on restoring proper joint function and range of motion. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques such as adjustments, mobilizations, and soft tissue therapy to improve the alignment and mobility of the shoulder joint.
In addition to manual therapy, chiropractors may also prescribe exercises and stretches to help restore range of motion and reduce pain. They may also provide advice on proper posture and ergonomics to prevent the condition from recurring.
Studies have shown that chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for frozen shoulder. One study found that patients who received chiropractic care experienced a significant reduction in pain and improvement in shoulder mobility compared to those who received no treatment.
Overall, chiropractic care can be a safe and effective option for treating frozen shoulder. If you are experiencing shoulder pain and stiffness, consider consulting with a chiropractor to see if this type of treatment is right for you.
