Thawing the Icy Grip: Frozen Shoulder and the Expertise of Medbar PT
That simple act of reaching up to a shelf, throwing a ball, or even just giving a friendly wave—when these daily movements become agonizing or even impossible, it may be the dreaded frozen shoulder tightening its icy hold. At Medbar PT, we know this all too well, and our commitment is to help patients melt away the pain and regain their range of motion.
Frozen Shoulder: A Closer Look
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. It tends to develop gradually, often in three stages: the freezing stage, the frozen stage, and the thawing stage.
What causes it? While the exact reasons remain a mystery, factors like immobility due to surgery, injury, or medical conditions can be triggers. It's a condition that demands patience, but with the right intervention, recovery is on the horizon.
