Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a disease of the shoulder joint that causes pain and limited shoulder mobility. This can cause the shoulder to be stiff and difficult to move. The exact cause is not always clear, but it can occur after injury or inflammation. Treatment includes physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases injections. Regaining full mobility can take weeks to months.

disc prolapse
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as “frozen shoulder,” can occur due to inflammation and scarring in the shoulder joint. The exact cause is not always clear, but injury or illness may play a role.
disc prolapse
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a painful condition of the shoulder joint in which mobility is severely limited. Treatment should begin early to prevent long-term stiffness. In most cases, physical therapy is the first step in gradually restoring mobility. Passive and active stretching exercises as well as exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles can be used. Applying heat before exercises can improve blood circulation and make stretching easier. If the pain is severe, the doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications or consider a cortisone injection. In some cases, manipulation of the joint under anesthesia may be necessary to restore mobility. In extremely rare cases, surgery may be considered. Therapy should be administered under medical supervision to monitor progress and make individual adjustments.
disc prolapse
Frozen shoulder was first described in the 19th century. The medical name “adhesive capsulitis” refers to the adhesion of the joint capsule. Fact: Typically it goes through three phases.
