Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that affects the shoulder joint and can cause pain and stiffness. It occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes thick and tight, making it difficult to move the arm.
The exact cause of frozen shoulder is not always known, but it is more common in people who have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, thyroid problems, or a history of shoulder injury or surgery.
The symptoms of frozen shoulder usually develop slowly over time and can include pain and stiffness in the shoulder that may worsen at night. As the condition progresses, it may become more difficult to perform everyday tasks that involve moving the arm, such as reaching for objects or lifting things overhead.
Treatment for frozen shoulder typically involves a combination of physical therapy, pain management, and in some cases, medication or surgery. Physical therapy may involve exercises to help improve the range of motion in the shoulder and reduce pain and stiffness. The good news is that most cases of frozen shoulder will eventually improve on their own with time and appropriate treatment, although it can take several months to a year or more for the symptoms to fully resolve.
