Frozen Shoulder

If you suffer from a frozen shoulder, as the name suggests, it causes a loss of movement in the arm and shoulder. Consequently, you will experience difficulty moving your shoulder and arm freely.

Frozen shoulder occurs in about 3% of the Dutch population on average. It mainly affects people between the ages of 40 and 60. Surprisingly, the symptoms also occur quite frequently in diabetic patients.

The shoulder consists of a ball and socket joint, which allows the upper arm to fit neatly into the shoulder. Surrounding the joint is a capsule that provides stability and keeps the joint together. The capsule also contributes to the arm’s range of motion. However, in the case of a frozen shoulder, the capsule becomes inflamed. This inflammation leads to thickening and adhesions within the joint capsule, reducing mobility and causing movement of the shoulder to be very painful and difficult. As a result, joint flexibility decreases, further restricting movement.
