frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder is one of the very commen conditions dealed by physiotherapists.............

Our clinic(varsha physiotherapy) has treated many patients of frozen shoulder.............

It is surprising to know that 20% of our patients till date are of shoulder problems, mostly frozen shoulder..........................

Not all  patients have the same etiology(cause of the problem), but most of them have a predisposing factor of diabetis, and mostly female.......

 

All these have been proved facts,

 

 But most patients tell me that they have severe pain at night and they feel comfortable when they sleep on effected side(on the pain ful shoulder)..........

 

now this is the point of discussion......please dont do that

 

IT MAY WORSEN YOUR CONDITION

Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder typically develops in three stages, with each stage usually lasting three to four months
. 
Freezing Stage: During this stage, pain can occur with any movement or while at rest. It may be difficult finding a comfortable sleeping position.
 
Frozen Stage: Pain may begin to diminish during this stage; however, shoulder range of motion also begins to decrease. Patients may notice they are not able to reach into their back pocket or comb the back of their hair. 

Thawing Stage: During this stage the condition slowly improves and range of motion is slowly regained.

Consult your physiotherapist for the best treatment of the condition as early as possible to avoid night pain
