Frozen Shoulder Treatment in West Delhi

Overview

Frozen shoulder affects individuals when the capsule surrounding their shoulder joint thickens and tightens, leading to restricted movement and pain. It usually develops gradually over time and then slowly resolves. Often, this is triggered after injury, surgery, or long periods of immobility; at times, it appears without prescriptions.

Frozen shoulder can usually last three distinct stages:-

• Freezing Stage- Increasing pain and gradual loss of movement;
• Frozen Stage - Stiffness remains with possible reduction in pain;
• Thawing Stage - Improvement in movement can occur, even after months of recovery.

Without treatment, this condition can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months, significantly interfering with patients' daily lives.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder

Though the exact reasons are often elusive, several risk factors do play a role in causing frozen shoulder:-

• Reduced mobility due to injury or surgery (fractures, rotator cuff injuries, mastectomy)
• Diabetes mellitus (higher risk due to changes in connective tissue)
• Thyroid disorders (both hypo and hyperthyroidism)
• Heart disease or stroke (limited movement post-event)
• Long periods of immobility owing to casting or bracing
• Age & Sex- More common in adults from 40–60 years, females have the greater prevalence

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder

• Dull, aching pain persists since the onset
• Stiffness develops and progressively gets worse
• Pain keeps the victim up at night
• Scarcely able to perform movements overhead or behind one's back
• Difficult due to daily activities such as dressing, grooming, or overhead reaching

Diagnosis

Diagnosis in Dr Ekta's Pain Management Clinic starts with:-

• Clinical history and examination regarding assessment of mobility and pain patterns
• X-ray for exclusion of arthritis or fractures
• MRI or Ultrasound to evaluate rotator cuff injuries or joint inflammation
