Frozen Shoulder
It's been a lean news week, so I'm relying upon the good information coming out of some of my professional journals.
Sometimes I'm presented with conditions that I haven't been able to get good results with. Frozen shoulder is one of them because the work for the client is so uncomfortable.
The term "frozen shoulder" is commonly used to refer to a painful condition of the shoulder that severely limits range of motion, making the joint appear to be frozen. Rather, "adhesive capsulitis" is the proper term for this condition.
As the name suggests, the problem originates from adhesion in the glenohumeral joint capsule. It is important to note that numerous problems in the shoulder may be painful and limit range of motion in ways similar to adhesive capsulitis.
Proper and accurate assessment is critical for effective treatment.
