Here we can fix it at Rehab Spine Physiotherapy Clinic 

Frozen shoulder is also known as ‘Adhesive Capsulitis.’ In this condition, the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful. The buildup to the problem is a gradual process. It may persist up to three years, and then it finally goes away. The tissue surrounding the shoulder becomes tight, and there is a decrease in synovial fluid which is responsible for the lubrication of the joint. In most people, the recurrence of the frozen shoulder doesn’t happen on the same side.

Frozen Shoulder Causes

Frozen shoulder happens more in women than men. Those who are in the age group of 40 to 60 years are more at risk. If the arm has been immobilized for some time, due to a fracture or an injury, the frozen shoulder may happen.

If you are recovering from specific medical issues like a stroke or an invasive surgery like mastectomy, there could a high risk of suffering from a frozen shoulder.

Other medical problems like cardiac issues, thyroid problems, and Parkinson’s disease also increase vulnerability towards the frozen shoulder.

Frozen Shoulder Symptoms

There are three stages to a frozen shoulder.

Freezing Stage: The problem develops gradually as the movement in the shoulder becomes painful, and it starts locking up. The stage lasts from six weeks to nine months.

Frozen Stage: In this stage, the pain may reduce, but the shoulder becomes stiffer. It becomes tough to make any movement through the joint. This stage lasts from four to six months.

Thawing Stage: This is the last stage in which the range of motion improves. This stage may last from six months to two years.
