Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis.

Is a condition which affects shoulder joint mobility with stiffness and pain and occurs usually between the ages of 40 and 60. Unaided recovery can be slow and symptoms can last for two to three years.

Diagnosis

The chiropractor will be able to make an accurate diagnosis using orthopaedic and neurological tests and may suggest referral for diagnostic x-rays.

Treatment

The aim of treatment is to regain full pain-free mobility of the shoulder joint as soon as possible.

We use joint manipulation and mobilisation, as well as ultrasound and accupressure to encourage blood flow mobility and healing.

If our clinical diagnosis indicates the need for surgery we will rapidly refer you to the very best shoulder surgeon.
