Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, leading to a significant reduction in the range of motion. This condition can develop gradually over time and often without a clear cause. At Shri Balaji Family Clinic, we specialize in treating frozen shoulder with a comprehensive approach that focuses on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, and effective rehabilitation under the guidance of Dr. Vinod Girdhar.
Understanding frozen shoulder involves exploring the three phases of the condition: the freezing phase, the frozen phase, and the thawing phase. During the freezing phase, shoulder movement becomes increasingly painful, and the range of motion starts to decrease. This phase can last from six weeks to nine months. In the frozen phase, pain may diminish, but the shoulder remains stiff, making it difficult to carry out everyday tasks. This phase typically lasts from four to six months. Finally, in the thawing phase, the shoulder slowly regains its range of motion, and this can continue for several months to a few years. The exact cause of frozen shoulder is often unclear, but it can be associated with prolonged immobility, shoulder injury, diabetes, or certain systemic conditions. A thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and physical examination, helps us determine the stage of your condition and the best approach to treatment.
Diagnostic approach at our clinic is thorough and tailored to identify the precise nature and extent of your frozen shoulder. We assess your shoulder's range of motion and pain levels through clinical tests and may recommend imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRI, to rule out other potential causes of shoulder stiffness and pain. This detailed assessment enables us to accurately diagnose frozen shoulder and develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms and enhances your shoulder function.
Treating frozen shoulder at Shri Balaji Family Clinic involves a multidisciplinary approach designed to relieve pain, improve shoulder mobility, and restore normal function. Initially, treatment may focus on managing pain and inflammation through ayurvedic medication, allowing for more effective participation in physical therapy. Physical therapy is a cornerstone of frozen shoulder treatment, aimed at stretching and strengthening the shoulder muscles to improve flexibility and restore the range of motion. As the shoulder begins to thaw, we may introduce more advanced therapeutic exercises and techniques to facilitate further recovery. In severe cases we in ayurveda give a single sitting of special agnikarma by which frozen shoulder is relieved immediately.
Preventive care and long-term management are crucial aspects of our approach to treating frozen shoulder. We emphasize patient education on maintaining shoulder health through regular exercise, proper posture, and activity modification to avoid prolonged immobility. Our team provides guidance on implementing stretching and strengthening routines into your daily activities to prevent recurrence and maintain shoulder mobility. Through regular follow-up appointments and continuous support, we monitor your progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and empower you to take an active role in managing your shoulder health and preventing future episodes of frozen shoulder.
