Frozen Shoulder

Many people do not realize just how much they use their shoulders during the course of a day. Therefore, even the slightest amount of discomfort in the shoulder can lead to serious quality-of-life issues. One of the potential issues that people might develop in the shoulder is called adhesive capsulitis. Also called frozen shoulder, this can lead to pain and stiffness in the joint. It is critical for people to understand how this condition presents and how the care from Bristol Chiropractor, Cotham Chiropractic Clinic can provide assistance.

What causes frozen shoulder?

The shoulder is one of the most important joints in the body. People don't realise how much they use their shoulders on a daily basis, and so this joint endures a significant amount of wear and tear. This joint relies on a complicated network of tendons and ligaments that join the bones and muscle tissues together. Furthermore, this joint is also encased in a capsule made of connective tissue. Over time, wear and tear could cause the capsule to thicken. When this tissue thickens, it causes the shoulder joint to feel tight. This leads to frozen shoulder and causes discomfort.

As a result, the symptoms of adhesive capsulitis usually present slowly, gradually getting worse over time. Usually, this condition evolves over a period of one to three years. The primary symptom is a significantly reduced range of motion.
