Diagnosis
For proper examination, our healthcare specialist may ask to move or rotate your arm in certain directions. It is done to detect pain and observe the active range of motion (how far one can move the arm). After that, relax the arm and let the specialist observe the passive range of motion (rotating the arm by external force). Both the active and passive range of motion are affected in the case of frozen shoulders.
Non-Surgical Treatments Available at Pain Medics Clinic for Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder can be due to problems related to glenohumeral joint arthritis, rotator cuff tears or due to medical conditions like diabetes. These conditions reduce the range of motion of the shoulder due to pain, leading to fibrosis of the capsule around the shoulder joint and reduced range of motion.
Rotator Cuff Injections
If the pathology is due to rotator cuff tears, injections into the rotator cuff muscles or the surrounding bursa may help in reducing the pain and improving range of motion.
Glenohumeral Joint Injections
In case of problems related to the glenohumeral joint, injections into the glenohumeral joint help improve symptoms.
Shoulder Capsule Hydrodistension
When no other pathology is found and only adhesive capsulitis is diagnosed, hydrodistension of the shoulder capsule and its release lead to improved range of motion and a reduction in pain.
Additional treatment modalities include using over-the-counter pain killers in the acute phase and range of motion exercises with a physiotherapist to manage the condition.
