Frozen Shoulder: Effective Chiropractic Care at Within Chiropractic

At Within Chiropractic, we understand the frustration and limitations that frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, can bring to your daily life. Our specialized chiropractic care offers a natural, comprehensive approach to help you manage frozen shoulder symptoms, improve mobility, and restore shoulder function.

Understanding Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It typically develops slowly, progressing through three stages:

1. Freezing stage: Pain increases and the shoulder loses range of motion.
2. Frozen stage: Pain may diminish, but the shoulder becomes stiffer.
3. Thawing stage: Shoulder motion slowly improves.

The entire process can last from several months to several years. While the exact cause is not fully understood, it's more common in women and people with diabetes, and it can occur after prolonged immobilization of the shoulder.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Frozen Shoulder

Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach to treating frozen shoulders. Our treatment aims to:

1. Reduce pain and inflammation in the shoulder joint
2. Improve shoulder mobility and range of motion
3. Address related issues in the neck, upper back, and ribs that may contribute to shoulder problems
4. Enhance overall biomechanics of the shoulder girdle
5. Provide strategies for at-home care and prevention

Our specific chiropractic adjustments and therapies are designed to not only alleviate the symptoms of frozen shoulder but also address potential underlying causes, promoting long-term relief and improved function.
