What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder happens when the capsule around the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and tight, forming scar tissue that restricts motion.
It usually develops in three stages:
- Freezing: Pain and stiffness increase.
- Frozen: Movement becomes very limited.
- Thawing: Motion slowly returns.
Without treatment, recovery can take up to two years, but chiropractic care can significantly speed the process.
Causes and How It Happens
Frozen shoulder can develop after an injury, surgery, or even from poor posture or inactivity. It’s more common in people over 40 and in those with hormonal or thyroid issues.
The condition starts with inflammation, followed by thickening and tightening of the joint capsule — which leads to pain and limited motion.
Chiropractic Treatment for Frozen Shoulder
At Blue Zone Advanced Chiropractic, our care focuses on restoring movement and reducing inflammation through:
- Gentle Adjustments to the shoulder, neck, and upper back.
- Soft Tissue Therapy to release scar tissue and improve flexibility.
- Shockwave or Laser Therapy to stimulate healing and circulation.
- Rehabilitation Exercises to rebuild shoulder strength and range of motion.
Our approach treats both pain and function — helping you move comfortably again.
Recovery and What to Expect
With consistent care, most patients notice improved mobility within 6–12 weeks, depending on the stage of the condition. Continuing home stretches and posture care helps maintain progress and prevent stiffness from returning.
