Adhesive Capsulitis

Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder syndrome, is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. If often occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, restricting movement. It can develop gradually and may be associated with injuries, surgery, or diabetes. Symptoms typically worsen over time, making everyday tasks difficult and painful. A knowledgeable and skilled chiropractor can significantly help manage a frozen shoulder. Chiropractors use techniques such as joint manipulation, mobilization, and soft tissue therapy to restore mobility and reduce pain. Chiropractic care focuses on addressing the root cause of the issue, facilitating the body’s natural healing process. The holistic approach can lead to faster recovery and improved shoulder function.
