  • Persistent shoulder joint pain that gets worse at night or when moving your arms. Disrupting your sleep
  • Stiffness in the shoulder joint, affecting your ability to move the shoulder
  • Limited range of motion, particularly with reaching, lifting, and rotating the shoulder.

You could be having frozen shoulder! It is important to seek treatments early to avoid prolonged discomfort and pain and that significantly affect your daily life.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder

 

Immobility and Lack of Use

Prolonged immobilization of the shoulder, such as after surgery, injury, or prolonged periods of inactivity, can contribute to the development of frozen shoulder.

Previous Shoulder Injury or Surgery

A history of shoulder injuries, surgeries, or trauma can increase the likelihood of developing frozen shoulder.

Hormonal Factors

Changes in hormonal levels, particularly in women, may play a role in the development of frozen shoulder.

Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes can cause inflammation in the shoulder joint, leading to frozen shoulder.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy may be used in conjunction with acupuncture to improve blood circulation, relieve stiffness, and improve range of motion.


Physiotherapy for Frozen Shoulder

Ultrasound and electrical stimulation may be used to reduce inflammation, promote blood flow, alleviate pain, improve muscle activation, and promote tissue healing.
