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.
A frozen shoulder can develop in various ways. The main reason is an inflamed capsule, which can occur in several ways.
For instance, a frozen shoulder may develop after a fall, causing injury to the shoulder joint, which can lead to inflammation of the capsule over time.
Alternatively, maintaining the same movement or posture for an extended period can also cause inflammation of the joint, leading to a frozen shoulder.
In most cases, a frozen shoulder resolves on its own. It is important to give the shoulder adequate rest. This means allowing the shoulder to move (to prevent stiffness) but not to the point of overexertion, as this could exacerbate inflammation and irritation.
During the first 6 months, it’s essential to maintain rest, allowing all movements to be made without exceeding the pain threshold.
To provide sufficient rest to the shoulder, movement should be controlled. This means moving the shoulder as needed but not beyond the point of pain. ProBrace offers the following advice:
