Shoulder pain can be frustrating—especially when it makes even simple tasks like combing your hair or reaching for something overhead difficult. One common cause of persistent shoulder pain and stiffness is frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis). At Dr. Pramod Kumar Orthopaedic Clinic, Hadapsar, we specialize in diagnosing and treating shoulder conditions so you can get back to a pain-free life.
What is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and tight, leading to pain and restricted movement. It usually develops gradually and can last for months if not treated properly.
Common Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder
If you have Frozen Shoulder, you might experience:
-
Persistent shoulder pain, even at rest
-
Stiffness and difficulty moving the arm
-
Pain that worsens at night or when lying on the affected side
-
Trouble performing daily activities like dressing or lifting objects
-
Gradual reduction in shoulder range of motion
Causes and Risk Factors
Frozen shoulder can occur without a clear reason, but some factors increase the risk:
-
Injury or surgery limiting shoulder movement
-
Prolonged immobility after an accident or illness
-
Diabetes or thyroid disorders
-
Age (most common between 40 and 60 years)
-
More common in women than men
