What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes progressive stiffness and loss of movement within the shoulder joint.
Many people first notice discomfort when reaching overhead or behind their back. As the condition develops, the shoulder may become increasingly difficult to move, making everyday activities more challenging.
Frozen shoulder often develops gradually and can affect daily tasks, work activities, exercise, and sleep.
Common Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder
Symptoms may include:
- Shoulder stiffness
- Difficulty lifting the arm overhead
- Reduced ability to reach behind the back
- Pain when moving the shoulder
- Difficulty dressing or grooming
- Discomfort when lying on the affected side
- Progressive loss of shoulder mobility
Many patients describe the stiffness as being more frustrating than the pain itself.
How We Assess Frozen Shoulder
At Spine Scan, every patient begins with a detailed assessment.
This may include:
- Review of your symptoms and history
- Shoulder movement assessment
- Range of motion testing
- Muscle function testing
- Discussion of contributing factors
- Explanation of findings
The goal is to understand how your shoulder is functioning and whether frozen shoulder or another condition may be contributing to your symptoms.
Could It Be Something Else?
Not all shoulder pain is frozen shoulder.
Shoulder symptoms can also be associated with:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Bursitis
- Tendon-related conditions
- Joint degeneration
- Muscle imbalances
- Previous injury
A proper assessment can help determine which factors may be involved.
