At Dr. Waseem Physio Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis. This condition is characterized by stiffness, pain, and a limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. Our expert physiotherapy team is dedicated to helping you regain mobility and live pain-free.
Frozen shoulder often develops gradually, and common causes include:
- Injury or Surgery: Post-injury or post-surgical immobility can increase the risk.
- Prolonged Immobilization: Extended periods of inactivity due to conditions like fractures or strokes.
- Medical Conditions: Diabetes, thyroid disorders, and Parkinson’s disease are known risk factors.
At Dr. Waseem Physio Clinic, we carefully evaluate your medical history and lifestyle to pinpoint potential causes and tailor your treatment plan.
Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder typically progresses through three stages:
- Freezing Stage:
- Gradual onset of pain.
- Pain intensifies, limiting shoulder movement.
- Frozen Stage:
- Stiffness becomes more pronounced.
- Daily activities like dressing or reaching overhead become challenging.
- Thawing Stage:
- Gradual improvement in range of motion.
- Full recovery may take several months to years without treatment.
