Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for frozen shoulder to restore mobility and reduce pain.

Comprehensive Frozen Shoulder Treatment at Eva Hospital

Eva Hospital provides advanced, personalized frozen shoulder treatment to relieve pain and restore mobility in patients suffering from shoulder stiffness. Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition can be highly restrictive and painful, impacting daily activities and quality of life. Dr. Tanveer S. Bhutani working as experienced specialists at Eva Hospital uses the latest frozen shoulder medical treatment methods to help patients regain shoulder movement and reduce discomfort. 

What is Frozen Shoulder Treatment? 

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive shoulder capsulitis, occurs when the connective tissue around the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, causing stiffness and limiting motion. This condition progresses through three phases: freezing, freezing, and thawing, each presenting unique challenges. Our frozen shoulder therapies are designed to address each stage of the condition, providing relief and improving range of motion.

At Eva Hospital, we offer a range of frozen shoulder therapy treatments, from physical therapy and pain management to minimally invasive procedures. Each patient’s treatment plan is carefully customized, ensuring the best therapy for frozen shoulder recovery.

Symptoms

The symptoms usually develop in three stages:

 

  1. Freezing stage (painful stage)
    • Gradually worsening shoulder pain, often worse at night.
    • Pain with movement and even at rest.
    • Increasing difficulty reaching overhead, behind your back, or across your body.
  2. Frozen stage (stiff stage)
    • Pain may lessen somewhat.
    • Significant stiffness limits daily activities, such as dressing, combing hair, or fastening a seatbelt.
    • Reduced range of motion in almost every direction.
  3. Thawing stage (recovery stage)
    • Shoulder movement gradually improves.
    • Pain continues to decrease.
    • Function slowly returns over several months.

Treatment

Treatment focuses on reducing pain and restoring movement.

1. Pain relief

  • Over-the-counter pain relievers such as Ibuprofen or Naproxen may help reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Your doctor may recommend stronger medications if needed.

2. Physical therapy

  • Gentle stretching exercises are the cornerstone of treatment.
  • A physical therapist can guide exercises to gradually improve shoulder mobility.
  • Consistent home exercises are often essential.

3. Corticosteroid injections

  • An injection into the shoulder joint can reduce pain and improve movement, especially if given early in the condition.

4. Hydrodilatation

  • A healthcare professional injects sterile fluid into the shoulder joint to stretch the joint capsule, which may improve mobility in some people.

5. Surgery (for persistent cases)
If symptoms do not improve after several months of conservative treatment, options may include:

  • Manipulation under anesthesia, where the shoulder is gently moved while you’re under anesthesia.
  • Arthroscopic capsular release, a minimally invasive procedure to release the tightened capsule.

Stages of Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder typically progresses in three stages:

  • Freezing stage: Increasing pain and gradual loss of movement
  • Frozen stage: Pain may reduce, but stiffness remains
  • Thawing stage: Gradual improvement in movement

FROZEN SHOULDER VS ROTATOR CUFF TEAR

Frozen Shoulder

  • Gradual stiffness of the shoulder
  • Pain with restricted movement in all directions
  • Joint capsule tightness
  • Improves slowly over time

Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Injury to shoulder tendons
  • Weakness in lifting the arm
  • Pain during specific movements
  • May require surgical repair in some cases

Key Difference

Frozen shoulder mainly causes stiffness, while rotator cuff tear causes weakness and tendon injury.
