Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Kolkata

Overview

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where your shoulder becomes very stiff and painful, making it difficult to move your arm for everyday tasks like combing hair, reaching shelves, or dressing. At Chiropractic Solution in Kolkata, we provide expert physiotherapy treatment that helps you regain shoulder movement and get back to normal life — without surgery.

How It Works

Frozen shoulder develops when the capsule (the sleeve of tissue surrounding your shoulder joint) becomes thick, tight, and inflamed. This causes the shoulder to stiffen up gradually over weeks and months.

Frozen shoulder typically goes through three stages:

1. Freezing Stage (2-9 months): Pain gradually increases and shoulder movement starts becoming limited. 2. Frozen Stage (4-12 months): Pain may decrease but the shoulder becomes very stiff with severely limited movement. 3. Thawing Stage (5-24 months): Movement gradually starts returning.

Without treatment, frozen shoulder can take 1-3 years to resolve on its own. With proper physiotherapy, recovery can be significantly accelerated.

At our Kalighat clinic, treatment for frozen shoulder includes gentle joint mobilization to gradually increase range of motion, manual therapy to reduce capsule tightness, heat therapy to loosen stiff tissues, stretching exercises progressed carefully based on your tolerance, and strengthening exercises as movement improves.
