Frozen shoulder is the common name for adhesive capsulitis. It’s a medical condition that can cause extreme pain and a very limited range of motion(ROM) in the shoulder joint (glenohumeral socket) area. Frozen shoulder creates intense contraction of the capsule that surrounds and supports the shoulder girdle,hence its name adhesive CAPSULITIS. Although many articles and ‘experts’ will claim that the cause of frozen shoulder pain is unknown,that simply isn’t true. What is true however,is that it has a multitude of causitive factors. These include,but certainly aren’t limited to:

• Any sort of injury to the shoulder area such as a strain or sprain.




• Being out of spinal alignment relates to this as well and this is why seeing a qualified chiropractor is imperative in healing frozen shoulder pain.




• Age,in a sense,can be a risk factor in developing frozen shoulder pain. The majority of people with frozen shoulder are women between forty and sixty years of age. This could very well be tied to hormonal changes that occur during this stage of life.




• What I believe is a major factor in creating frozen shoulder in people that is not usually hit upon on most websites is the underlying emotional factor. Supressed emotions and painful memories that have not been  properly processed can most certainly manifest as physical pain. The mind/body connection has been proven by both scientific studies,as of late,as well as ancient wisdom for thousands of years.
  If you are interested in healing the root cause of physical symptoms I refer you to the EFT website at www.emofree.com and books by current healing/spiritual genius minds such as Deepak Chopra and Bruce Lipton.




• Diabetes has been found to be highly related to developing frozen shoulder pain. It’s one more reason to control carbohydrate intake and live a healthy lifestyle to avoid this dangerous,painful condition.

Frozen shoulder starts with a stiffening,contracting effect of the shoulder area where adhesive bands are formed,restricting motion. It then proceeds through two additional stages as is shown below.

1. -First,the painful,freezing state. This stage normally has the highest level of acute pain. Range of motion is starting to becoming impaired,but its not nearly as stiff the next phase. Most people will claim that this stage takes anywhere from six to twelve weeks to move through but that is with the old paradigm of healing. Using the above mentioned mind/body techniques along with the proper physiological support,healing can go MUCH,MUCH quicker. Don’t suffer through drawn out pain just because it has been dubbed ‘normal’ by an outmoded modality of medicine.




2. -Second comes the actual frozen stage,where it gets its notorious name. The pain normally diminishes during this stage,but this is where you really lose your range of motion. Movement can be extremely limited,making it hard to even comb your hair,brush your teeth,button up your shirt,or anything else that involves raising your arm above your head. ‘Normal’ timeframes to work through this phase are usually quoted from four to six months,but again,see my above comments and don’t succumb to this unnecessary,drawn out suffering.




3. -Third and finally comes the thawing stage. People at large will tell you this is a gradual drawn out phase,lasting as long as,or more,than a year! Please,please read into my above mentioned information.The information for quick,natural healing of frozen shoulder pain is there,and many have already benefitted from it. That is why I wrote this article,and created this blog as a whole. To help people heal their frozen shoulder far quicker than what is currently deemed as ‘normal’ and ‘unavoidable’. With the proper shoulder physical therapy,you will learn how to stretch the affected area to speed up healing. This,coupled with the above information should have you well on the road to a full,speedy recovery.
   

Stages

Frozen shoulder is normally broken down into three separate stages.

-The first ‘freezing’ stage. One gradually begins to have pain and restriction of motion in the affected shoulder,which gets worse over time unless appropriate action is taken. The general ‘rule of thumb’ for the length of this stage can be six weeks to nine whole months! However,given the proper shoulder physical therapy,you will not have to suffer anywhere near this long so keep reading and don’t let the pessimists with their unrealistic timeframes get you down! You don’t have to live with painful frozen shoulder!

-The second ‘frozen’ stage’ tends to have an alleviation of the pain thankfully,however,the stiffness stays with you and the range of motion can actually get worse if left unattended. ‘Normal’ timeframes for this stage are four to nine months,but see my thoughts concerning stage one’s timeline,as they apply to all three stages as well.

-The third and final ‘thawing’ stage. This of course is where one’s shoulder starts to regain its previous range of motion as the pain finally,fully melts away.

So there you have it, the three main stages of this condition. Now that you have a general knowledge of what it is and what you can expect from it, you are in a much better position to treat it properly. Remember that knowledge by itself doesn’t do anyone any good. You have to actually go out and apply that knowledge with massive, immediate action in order to reap the benefits. There is plenty of additional general information on this site to help you cure your shoulder pain as well as a top notch full treatment plan created by a highly qualified individual. I hope you will take full advantage of both.

Again,’normal’ timeframes quoted are anywhere from five to twenty-six months,which in my opinion ridiculous and unecessary if your frozen shoulder pain is treated properly.

Pain frozen shoulder

Are you afraid your frozen shoulder may be permanent? Give this article a good read and it will alleviate your concerns as well as lead you to the proper treatment for your condition.

Some people become stricken with a frozen shoulder and become worried that it may be with them forever! I assure you it won’t be. However,what you do to treat it will determine how long you have to suffer for. Choose unqualified information from random sources and you could actually even make it worse,extending your pain. Choose the proper shoulder physical therapy and you will minimize the time you spend healing.

If this isn’t the first article you’ve read on the subject,you may have seen other quotes elsewhere saying it will take many,many months if not years to heal frozen shoulder pain. This is certainly not necessary. Healing can take place quite quickly once you start using the right treatment program so take heart.

So what happens when you develop this disease? For starters your shoulder girdle as a whole will become painful and inflamed,making it difficult to sleep. Next,you will start to lose your range of motion,being especially bad with attempted reaches across the body or above the head. Third and finally,you will begin to ‘thaw’ out,your pain will melt away,and your range of motion will come back.

If you have already been suffering for a while,or perhaps are just digging into the research on frozen shoulder because it just hit you,either way,you want it gone now! So let’s not waste anymore time. As mentioned above,an improper program can lead to further damage and prolonged suffering. Trying to ‘wing it’ or just taking random bits and pieces from unqualified(though perhaps genuinely caring)websites will only lead to disaster. What you need is a shoulder physical therapy program designed by a physical therapist specifically for frozen shoulder. One that has been used by countless people to heal,and heal quickly,naturally,and fully. Remember,we want to speed the process up as much as possible without causing further damage.

So get ready to get rid of such symptoms as general shoulder pain and stiffness,limited range of motion,and difficulty sleeping. And you can do this in the comfort of your own home as well with less than 30 minutes a day. No need for expensive hospital visits or surgeries. Just a solid,proven treatment plan provided by a qualified physical therapist with years of experience.

Learn exactly:

-How to stretch for maximum benefit,without going overboard into the ‘potential injury’ zone. How often and how long for ideal results

-Specific range of motion exercises that will help you regain the ability to reach over your head once again

-The NUMBER ONE reason why most people don’t heal!

-Synergistic strengthening exercises to offset the muscular weakness that tends to otherwise accompany frozen shoulder.

-Details photos of everything,every step of the way,leaving no guesswork

Here is an excellent read on using herbal remedies based on ancient Indian wisdom known as Ayurveda as an adjunct to your shoulder physical therapy treatment program.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. This condition typically develops slowly over several months and consists of three stages: the painful stage; the frozen stage; and the thawing stage. This condition is caused by inflammation and stiffness of the shoulder capsule due to old age, injury, prolonged immobilization or health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, lung disease etc.

The Ayurvedic treatment of frozen shoulder is aimed at treating stiffness and pain and preserving the mobility of the shoulder joint. Medicines like Yograj-Guggulu, Triphala-Guggulu, Kaishor-Guggulu, Sinhanaad-Guggulu, Maha-Rasnadi-Guggulu and Punarnavadi-Guggulu are used to reduce the inflammation in the shoulder joint. Medicines like Maha-Vat-Vidhwans-Ras, Vat-Gajankush-Ras, Vish-Tinduk-Vati, Dashmoolarishta, Sarpagandha (Rauwolfia serpentina), Nirgundi (Vitex negundo), Tagar (Valeriana wallichii) and Khurasani ova (Hyoscyamus niger) are used to reduce pain in the joints. Stiffness in the shoulder capsule can be reduced using medicines like Trayodashang-Guggulu, Tapyadi-Loh, Ekang-Veer-Ras, Laxadi-Guggulu, Shallaki (Boswellia serrata) and Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera).

Application of heat to the shoulder joint is also quite helpful in reducing pain and stiffness. Medicines like Vishgarbha oil, Mahanarayan oil and Mahamash oil are applied on the affected joint. This is followed by a localized steam fomentation of medicines like Maha-Rasnadi-Qadha, Dashmool-Qadha and Nirgundi-Qadha. This procedure is repeated daily for a few weeks till there is considerable reduction in pain and stiffness, after which the frequency of the procedure is reduced gradually.

Physiotherapy of the affected joint is very important to maintain as much range of motion as possible. The shoulder joint should be subjected to gradual stretching and mobility exercises without stressing the joint or causing a lot of pain. Acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are both quite effective in reducing the pain in frozen shoulder. In a few patients where symptoms do not improve because of scar tissue and adhesions inside the shoulder joint, surgery may be a last option to provide relief in this condition.

To note: Do an online search for practicioners in your local area,as the contact info listed in the article is based in canada. Unless that is,you want to take a nice ride to the great white north

Sciatica and back pain affect a large percentage of the adult population, often resulting in loss of work, addiction to painkillers, or even surgery. Anyone with chronic pain will agree: it can be extremely depressing and financially draining to deal with.

The Bowen technique is an extremely effective treatment for pain that originated in Australia. Fairly new to North America, this technique has been known to resolve even chronic conditions within only a few treatments. Working with the body’s innate healing abilities, the Bowen technique encourages the central nervous system to reset muscle tension and correct imbalances. As such, the results are generally not reliant on regular maintenance visits, and most patients do not need to return.

Amber Korobkina learned of the Bowen technique when a work injury resulted in serious spinal damage several years ago. A single mother in her late 20′s, Korobkina had no choice but to endure the pain and carry on working in order to pay for her long list of medications and alternative therapies.

Unfortunately, the painkillers and therapies were no match for the pain, and Amber was referred to a surgeon. Though intimidated by the thought of spinal surgery (with no guaranteed results), Korobkina had no other options, and began to look forward to the prospect of being repaired.

In the meantime, the constant pain was taking its toll on Korobkina’s disposition, and when a co-worker commented on her frustration, an interesting conversation developed. It seemed that not only had he experienced a similar problem, but had managed to resolve it with just a few treatments called “The Bowen Technique”. With surgery months away, Korobkina half-heartedly decided to give it a try, and booked an appointment.

“I limped into the clinic with no idea what to expect. I was used to being poked and prodded, but this was different,” Korobkina describes. “The practitioner who treated me touched me very gently, and I remember thinking that he wasn’t even close to where it hurt. He left the room several times and eventually I fell asleep. When I left the clinic, my pain was almost gone.”

The technique involves gentle, precisely placed, soft tissue manipulation at specific locations along the spine, arms and neck. The practitioner rolls a fingertip over the muscle or tendon, disturbing it momentarily. There’s a subtle vibrational effect through the muscle that affects the nervous system. It’s like plucking a guitar string or letting go of a string on a bow and arrow. It can be described as ‘playing’ the nervous system.

Bowen Therapy is not only effective for spinal issues, it can be used to treat sports injuries, frozen shoulder, whiplash, infertility, arthritis, tennis elbow, asthma and fibromyalgia to name a few. It can impact organs like the liver, kidney and intestine as well as endocrine, adrenal and thyroid function. To sum it up, Bowen reminds the body how to heal itself in a surprisingly small number of treatments. Results are long-term and patients do not need to return unless they re-injure themselves.

Six years later, now completely pain free, Korobkina has gone on to become one of the leading Bowen practitioners in Ontario and has also achieved instructor level with the Bowen College. “it changed my life so much! I just felt the need to master the technique and help others feel better, just like I did.” Korobkina began treating clients out of her home in 2005, with impressive results. Clients were feeling better, and referring even more pain sufferers for treatments. Now helping people feel better is something Amber is able to do on a daily basis. She named her practice “Let it Heal”, and now has locations in Toronto, Burlington, Kitchener and St. Catharines. More information is available at www.letitheal.com, or by calling 416-628-6290.

 Very generally speaking,frozen shoulder rehab consists of various exercises that stretch the area with the purpose of capsular release. You must use the the proper frozen shoulder treatment in order to not only get results,but to avoid getting worse! An overagressive,or ill informed teacher could cause exacerbate the problem. Don’t buy anything or pay anyone until you are sure that person is qualified. Once you find a qualified person to help you heal your adhesive capsulitis,he or she is going to have you do a good bit of specific stretching to begin healing and get your range of motion back.

 This is not something that an amateur should try on their own with guesswork,as you could well make the situation worse. There will be some discomfort,if not downright pain,but it can be necessary to breakthrough the current constriction of frozen shoulder. Don’t give up! It will be well worth getting freedom of motion back again,and will be far less than what dragging out the condition will inflict. Read the review on this program here,he is a compassionate,highly trained and qualified physical therapist with alot of experience. See if it feels right for you and if so,give it a try. I wish you the best of luck in healing your frozen shoulder,if you should have any questions or need any personal support,please don’t hesitate to email me directly using the contact form on this blog. God bless
