frozen shoulder therapies
Frozen shoulder therapies encompass a comprehensive range of treatments designed to address adhesive capsulitis, a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. These therapeutic approaches combine physical manipulation, exercise protocols, and modern medical interventions to restore mobility and reduce discomfort. The primary treatment methods include physical therapy, which incorporates stretching exercises and joint mobilization techniques, alongside medical interventions such as corticosteroid injections and hydrodilatation. Advanced treatment options may include ultrasound-guided procedures and specialized manual therapy techniques. These therapies typically follow a structured progression, beginning with pain management and gradually advancing to mobility restoration exercises. The treatment protocol often incorporates both passive and active range-of-motion exercises, complemented by heat therapy and therapeutic ultrasound. Modern frozen shoulder therapies also utilize evidence-based techniques such as proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and scapular stabilization exercises. The comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive individualized treatment plans that address their specific symptoms and stage of the condition, with regular assessment and adjustment of therapeutic interventions as needed.
