Frozen Shoulder Injury
Frozen shoulder or 'Adhesive Capsulitis' is a common cause of shoulder pain in people aged between 40 and 60, with women affected more than men. Physiotherapy treatment is the first option for Frozen Shoulder treatment. Some evidence suggests that more aggressive shoulder mobilisation in conjunction with local anaesthetic and corticosteroid injections can provide shoulder pain relief and restore normal movement.
Common Frozen Shoulder signs & symptoms:
- First, shoulder pain comes on slowly and leads to a gradual loss in shoulder movement (Freezing Phase).
- Then there is restriction of shoulder movement, which can last for up to a year (Frozen Phase).
- Finally, there is a gradual increase in shoulder range of motion (Thawing Phase).
