Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition that causes stiffness and limited movement in the joint. This condition develops gradually over time and can significantly affect daily tasks such as dressing, reaching overhead, or even sleeping comfortably.
The condition typically progresses through three stages—freezing, frozen, and thawing—each with its own pattern of symptoms and duration. While this condition can improve on its own, recovery is often slow and may take months or even years. Some people require treatment to relieve pain and restore full function.
Frozen Shoulder
This condition occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, limiting movement. Doctors do not always identify the exact cause, but people aged 40 to 60 experience it more often. Particularly women and individuals with diabetes, thyroid disorders, or after shoulder immobilisation due to injury or surgery.
Understanding this condition is the first step towards proper management, timely treatment, and preventing further complications.
