Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Thane: Physiotherapy for Adhesive Capsulitis

Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint. It develops gradually, worsens over time, and can significantly restrict daily activities. Dr. Hassan Shaikh's clinic in Mira Road provides specialized treatment for frozen shoulder in the Thane region.

Understanding Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder occurs when the joint capsule becomes thick and tight, developing adhesions that restrict movement. The condition typically progresses through three stages: the freezing stage with increasing pain and decreasing range of motion, the frozen stage with persistent stiffness but reducing pain, and the thawing stage with gradual improvement in mobility.

Risk Factors for Frozen Shoulder

The condition is more common in people with diabetes, thyroid disorders, cardiovascular disease, those who have had prolonged shoulder immobilization, and individuals between 40-60 years of age. Women are affected more than men.

Physiotherapy Treatment Approach

At our Mira Road clinic, Dr. Hassan uses a combination of manual therapy techniques including joint mobilization and stretching, therapeutic exercises for progressive range of motion improvement, heat therapy before exercises, modalities for pain management, and home exercise programs for continued improvement.

Recovery from Frozen Shoulder

With consistent physiotherapy, most patients experience significant improvement within 2-6 months. However, complete recovery may take up to a year in some cases. Dr. Hassan guides patients through each stage of recovery with appropriate interventions.
