Understanding Frozen Shoulder Pain and Its Treatment

 Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. This condition can significantly impact daily activities, making simple tasks like reaching, lifting, or even dressing a challenge. Dr. Abhishek Tripathi, a highly experienced orthopedic specialist and bone and joint transplant expert, provides comprehensive care for patients suffering from frozen shoulder and other related conditions. Let’s dive into the details about frozen shoulder pain, its causes, symptoms, and available treatments.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder Pain


Frozen shoulder typically occurs when the connective tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become inflamed and thickened, leading to stiffness and pain. Common causes include:


Shoulder Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the cartilage in the shoulder joint can lead to inflammation and stiffness.


Calcific Tendonitis: Calcium deposits in the tendons can cause irritation and restrict movement.


Bicep Tendonitis: Inflammation of the bicep tendon can contribute to shoulder pain and limited motion.


Rotator Cuff Tear: Damage to the rotator cuff muscles or tendons can cause severe shoulder pain and loss of function.


Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder


The symptoms of frozen shoulder develop gradually and are typically divided into three stages:


Freezing Stage: During this stage, the shoulder becomes increasingly stiff and painful, particularly during movement. This stage can last from six weeks to nine months.


Frozen Stage: Pain may reduce, but the stiffness remains. Daily activities become difficult, and this stage can last from four to six months.


Thawing Stage: Gradual improvement in range of motion and pain occurs. This stage may last from six months to two years.


Diagnosis


A thorough diagnosis is essential for effective treatment. Dr. Abhishek Tripathi employs advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, including:


Detailed physical examinations.


Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound to evaluate the condition of the joint and surrounding tissues.


Treatment Options for Frozen Shoulder


Treatment for frozen shoulder focuses on relieving pain and restoring mobility. Dr. Tripathi provides a range of effective treatments tailored to the patient’s condition, such as:


Non-Surgical Treatments:


Physical Therapy: Specific exercises to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.


Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs or pain relievers to manage symptoms.


Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and pain.


Minimally Invasive Procedures:


Hydrodilatation: Injection of fluid into the joint to stretch the capsule and improve movement.
