What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint is where the joint capsule tightens, usually in response to an injury. This results in a lack of mobility and range of motion and also usually quite a bit of pain. Chiropractic treatments can be beneficial for adhesive capsulitis by helping to reduce pain associated with the condition and to help improve range of motion. Usually, chiropractic manipulation or mobilization is utilized to encourage an increase in range of motion and function along with soft tissue work surrounding the shoulder. Rehab exercises are typically taught as well to increase mobility and stability of the shoulder too.
