Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition characterized by stiffness and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It can significantly impact daily activities, from simple tasks like reaching for objects to more strenuous activities like sports. At Almurshidi Medical Tourism, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and effective treatment options for frozen shoulder, helping you regain your mobility and improve your quality of life.
# What is Frozen Shoulder?
– Causes and Risk Factors.
Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and thickened, leading to stiffness and pain. While the exact cause remains unclear, several factors can contribute to the condition:
1. Age and Gender: Frozen shoulder commonly affects individuals aged 40 to 60, with women being more susceptible.
2. Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular diseases increase the risk of developing frozen shoulder.
3. Inactivity: Prolonged immobility or inactivity due to injury or surgery can lead to the onset of frozen shoulder.
4. Previous Shoulder Injuries: Past injuries, including fractures or surgery, can also be contributing factors.
# Symptoms.
The symptoms of frozen shoulder typically develop in three phases:
1. **Freezing Stage:** This phase involves increasing pain and gradual loss of shoulder movement.
2. **Frozen Stage:** Pain may begin to decrease, but stiffness persists, significantly limiting mobility.
3. **Thawing Stage:** Gradual improvement occurs, with increased range of motion and reduced pain.
Diagnosis of Frozen Shoulder.
# Consultation and Examination.
At Almurshidi Medical Tourism, our journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our experienced healthcare professionals will review your medical history, assess your symptoms, and perform a physical examination to evaluate your shoulder’s range of motion.
# Image study.
To confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potential issues, we may recommend imaging studies such as:
– **X-rays:** To check for other conditions affecting the shoulder.
– **MRI:** To provide detailed images of the shoulder structures, helping to assess the extent of inflammation and damage.
## Treatment Options at Almurshidi Medical Tourism.
– Personalized Treatment Plans.
At Almurshidi Medical Tourism, we believe in a holistic approach to treating frozen shoulder. Our personalized treatment plans may include a combination of the following options:
1. Physical Therapy.
Physical therapy is often the first line of treatment for frozen shoulder. Our skilled therapists will work with you to:
– Improve your range of motion through targeted exercises.
– Strengthen the shoulder muscles to enhance stability.
– Reduce pain and inflammation with specialized techniques.
2. Medications.
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen), may help reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, our medical team may recommend corticosteroid injections for more significant relief.
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures.
If conservative treatments are ineffective, we may consider more advanced options:
– **Shoulder Manipulation:** Under anesthesia, the doctor gently moves the shoulder to help break up adhesions and improve mobility.
– **Arthroscopic Surgery:** In severe cases, a minimally invasive procedure may be performed to remove adhesions and restore range of motion.
4. Alternative Therapies.
We also explore complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage to provide additional pain relief and support your recovery.
