👨‍⚕️💬Frozen Shoulder When the capsule becomes thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint and becomes inflamed, frozen shoulder occurs. There’s also a lack of synovial fluid to lubricate the space between the shoulder blade and upper arm bone. The combined action results in the shoulder bones not being able to move freely within the joint, and thereby restricting the range of motion a person has when using their shoulder. 👨‍⚕️💬Symptoms Of Frozen Shoulder: * Stiffness of the shoulder joint that gradually worsens over time * Pain in the shoulder joint that gradually worsens over time * Decreased shoulder mobility or lack of mobility that progresses over time and ceases after a number of years. * Difficulty sleeping or finding a comfortable position * Pain that’s worse at night and during colder weather * Momentary intense pain and/or cramping that occurs after certain movements 👨‍⚕️💬Causes Of Frozen Shoulder: * Cardiovascular disease * Tuberculosis * Parkinson's disease * Diabetes * Thyroid disease * Chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting the shoulder * Any event that causes a long term immobility of the shoulder joint, such as surgery or stoke. * A previous trauma to the shoulder area * Statistically, women over 40-years-old are at the greatest gender and age-related risk (around 70% of frozen shoulders occur in women) * May be a possible adverse reaction to certain forms of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) 👨‍⚕️💬Frozen shoulder has three different phases. Each phase can last several weeks to months. The three phases are: 1.Freezing, with pain increasing over time 2.Frozen, when stiffness is the primary symptom and shoulder pain may decrease 3.Thawing, when shoulder strength and motion completely or partially return to normal 👨‍⚕️🏥Physical therapy for frozen shoulder typically involves using therapeutic modalities and procedures to decrease your pain, and aggressive range of motion (ROM) exercises to help improve your shoulder's mobility and strength. #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #frozenshoulder #shoulderpain #doctor #painmanagement #pain #hospital #physiotherapy #physicaltherapyshoulder #modalities #exercise #fitness #health #anatomyofshoulder #anatomy #frozenshouldertreatment #allaboutfrozenshoulder
