Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops over time and can significantly impact daily activities. Understanding the causes and treatment options can help you regain mobility and reduce discomfort.
What Causes Frozen Shoulder?
The shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion in the body, making it susceptible to instability and injury. Over time, stress on the rotator cuff—the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder—can lead to inflammation, tears, and reduced mobility.
Frozen shoulder occurs when adhesions form around the shoulder joint, restricting movement. Additionally, the synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint, decreases, making movement even more painful and difficult.
