Most patients that have symptoms of a frozen shoulder will
see there primary care physician for shoulder pain. Anti-inflammatory medication, pain meds,
injections, and physical therapy may be prescribed.
What many people do not know is that visiting your
chiropractor can be the most beneficial for treatment of adhesive capsulitis. Chiropractors do not just
specialize in treatment of the spine, but all of the other joints as well. Passive mobilization will help to break the
adhesions within the shoulder capsule and allow more range of motion. This is rigorous, but necessary treatment for
this condition. Over time, this increase
in range of motion will let you undergo regular activities of daily living
without pain; just as you did before the injury.
If you find yourself with pain in the shoulder and having
difficulty combing your hair or putting on clothing, contact your chiropractor at Rosa Chiropractic of Alexandria.
Remember, the longer you let this condition go untreated, the longer and
more difficult it will be to alleviate.
