Shoulder Pain
What is
Frozen Shoulder ?
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. This condition develops when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, leading to pain and limited range of motion. It typically progresses in three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing, each with varying degrees of discomfort and immobility.
Symptoms of
Frozen Shoulder
Understanding shoulder pain symptoms can help in diagnosing the condition early and initiating effective shoulder pain treatment. Symptoms of frozen shoulder often develop gradually but worsen over time, including:
- Stiffness and difficulty in moving the arm.
- Loss of range of motion in the shoulder joint.
- Persistent pain in the shoulder, which may worsen at night.
- Pain that increases with certain movements, such as lifting the arm.
Types of
Shoulder Pain
Different types of pain in shoulder can have unique triggers, requiring specific treatment approaches. There are two main types of frozen shoulder:
- Primary Frozen Shoulder
Develops without any clear cause.
- Primary Frozen Shoulder
Results from an underlying condition such as injury, surgery, or illnesses like diabetes.
What Causes
A Frozen Shoulder ?
What causes shoulder pain and frozen shoulder varies. Common causes of shoulder pain when lifting arm include rotator cuff injuries, impingement syndrome, or adhesive capsulitis. If you experience shoulder pain when stretching, it’s important to avoid overexertion and consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation. Recognizing what causes frozen shoulder helps tailor a comprehensive shoulder pain treatment plan. Common frozen shoulder causes include:
- Chronic inflammation of the shoulder joint.
- Hormonal imbalances or autoimmune responses.
- Shoulder injury or surgery leading to immobilization.
- Underlying health conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, or heart disease.
