The Frozen Shoulder or the Adhesive Capsulitis is a condition where a person feels severe pain on their shoulder and will limit its movement and the patient will not usually know what caused the pain. The Martinez Chiropractor usually would explain to their patient that the condition has three stages. And they would determine which stage the patient is currently in. First, the injured feels a severe pain that will limit the shoulder’s movement; this is called the freezing stage. Next is the frozen stage where the person would feel that the pain is gradually decreasing but the shoulder movement is still limited. The thawing phase or the third and final stage is where a injured would feel that their shoulder is slowly recovering and that movement is returning to normal.
The biggest danger of having the Frozen Shoulder condition is that patient usually doesn’t know that they are suffering from this because there’s no known specific cause for it. And this condition is often a symptom of some dangerous diseases. Martinez chiropractor usually forms a series of tests and asks their patient when they started to feel the pain on their shoulders. This way they will get an idea on to what stage their patient is in now. Chiropractors have noticed that the condition is much more common with women than men. And people in their 40’s are usually the victim of this kind of condition.
Latest studies show that there are two forms of adhesive capsulitis. The primary form of frozen shoulder is where no known cause of the condition has been identified while the secondary form is believed to be a result of a trauma or illness or any other event which have lead to this condition. People who are suffering from diabetes and hyperthyroidism are more susceptible to have this kind of condition. This is what the Martinez Chiropractor usually observes in their patient suffering from frozen shoulder.
There’s a theory that adhesion is developed within the capsule of the shoulder and the process is not because of immobilization or lack of movement of the shoulder. This condition is caused by an inflammatory process that would later on resolve with a scar tissue formation. Usually people who are suffering from this condition would result to taking pain killers and other medical prescriptions which would later on bring more damage than help to the body, while chiropractors would also give a drugless and surgery free solution to any condition their patients have. It is always best to have a drugless treatment with this particular condition to be able to let the body heal itself without giving it additional problems. The Martinez Chiropractor would usually use a soft tissue therapy which is aimed to control the pain and then help patients get back the normal range of their shoulder’s movements. Some chiropractor would also advice their patient some special exercises to aid them in slowly regaining their shoulder’s proper movements.
The chiropractic treatments for frozen shoulder have received a lot of positive feedback from patients and have been proven to be very effective.
