Chiropractic for Frozen Shoulder Issues

At Northwood Chiropractic Oxford, we prioritize precision and detail to get to the root cause of frozen shoulder. This condition (also called adhesive capsulitis) is most common in middle age women but can affect men and those younger too. It occurs when the glenohumeral joint (main shoulder joint) becomes painful, stiff and restricted due to the development of inflammation and scarring of the shoulder capsule. The pain is commonly worse at night and makes everyday activities very difficult.

Frozen shoulder may last anywhere between a few months to a few years however the good news is it is self-limiting in the vast majority of cases. This means that even without therapy there's a good chance it will resolve by itself. However a condition like this is a warning sign that something is not right and if left uncorrected, could lead to other problems later on down the line. Therefore getting a full assessment is essential to finding out whether there are any issues that need to be addressed to ensure optimal recovery and stop the condition from returning.
