Frozen Shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and often debilitating condition that restricts movement in the shoulder. Whether caused by an injury, overuse, or simply aging, Frozen Shoulder can make everyday activities, from reaching for an item on a shelf to brushing your hair, difficult and frustrating. At East Valley Chiropractic, we offer personalized, non-invasive treatment to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to your normal routine.
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Ty specializes in using chiropractic techniques to address the root causes of Frozen Shoulder and promote natural healing. If you’re dealing with stiffness, pain, or a limited range of motion in your shoulder, our team can help you get back to living pain-free.
Frozen Shoulder is a condition that occurs when the tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become inflamed, thickened, and tight. This leads to a loss of motion and pain that often worsens over time. The condition typically develops in three stages:
Pain gradually worsens, and the shoulder becomes stiff. Range of motion decreases.
Pain may diminish, but stiffness remains, and movement is severely limited.
The shoulder gradually regains mobility as the tissues loosen, and the pain continues to subside.
The exact cause of Frozen Shoulder is not always clear, but it often follows an injury, surgery, or prolonged immobility. It can also occur without any apparent reason, especially in people with certain conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or heart disease.
Frozen Shoulder affects the shoulder joint and can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
If left untreated, Frozen Shoulder can significantly impact your quality of life. Early treatment is key to reducing pain and restoring movement.
While it may seem like a minor issue at first, Frozen Shoulder can lead to long-term discomfort, limitations in movement, and significant daily challenges. If left untreated, it can worsen over time, leading to chronic pain and permanent stiffness. Chiropractic care can help reduce inflammation, restore normal movement patterns, and improve the overall health of your shoulder joint, preventing the condition from progressing into more severe stages.
Ignoring treatment can also increase the likelihood of the condition returning, even after the symptoms appear to subside. Early chiropractic care can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore a full range of motion without the need for medications or surgery.
At East Valley Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to Frozen Shoulder treatment. Our goal is to address the root cause of your pain, restore mobility, and promote long-term healing. Here’s how chiropractic care can help:
Frozen Shoulder can often be caused by imbalances or misalignments in the cervical spine (neck) or thoracic spine (upper back). Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine and shoulder joints, relieving pressure on the soft tissues and improving overall function. Proper alignment helps reduce pain and restores range of motion.
Chiropractic care utilizes gentle techniques to reduce inflammation in the shoulder area, which is key to relieving pain and stiffness. Through targeted adjustments, we help stimulate the body’s natural healing response, which reduces swelling and encourages circulation to the affected tissues.
One of the most frustrating aspects of Frozen Shoulder is the limited mobility it causes. Chiropractic adjustments, along with therapeutic exercises, can help restore normal motion to the shoulder joint, allowing you to move more freely and comfortably.
Chiropractic treatment often involves soft tissue techniques, such as myofascial release or trigger point therapy, to release tight muscles and fascia around the shoulder. These techniques relax the surrounding muscles and improve blood flow, allowing for better recovery and reducing discomfort.
By restoring joint function, reducing muscle tension, and addressing underlying misalignments, chiropractic care supports the body’s ability to heal naturally. Our treatment encourages the body to restore healthy, pain-free movement without the use of drugs or invasive procedures.
Chiropractic care is non-invasive, drug-free, and tailored to your comfort level. Many patients begin to feel relief shortly after treatment, with improved movement and decreased discomfort.
During your initial consultation, our team will thoroughly assess your shoulder’s condition, review your medical history, and discuss your symptoms. We’ll determine if chiropractic care is right for you and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Using gentle, non-invasive techniques, we’ll begin treating the affected shoulder area. Chiropractic adjustments will be made to improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and restore alignment. Soft tissue therapy may also be used to release muscle tension and improve flexibility.
Patients often describe chiropractic adjustments as gentle and soothing. While you may experience slight discomfort in the shoulder area, the treatment itself should not cause pain. The goal is to gradually restore motion and reduce inflammation without causing additional strain.
There is no downtime after treatment, and you can resume your daily activities right away. You may feel some mild soreness, similar to the sensation after exercise, but this should subside within a day or two. We may also recommend specific stretches or exercises to help strengthen the shoulder and improve mobility.
Many patients experience noticeable improvements in pain and range of motion after just a few sessions. The full benefits of chiropractic care are typically realized after several treatments—usually 3–6 sessions, depending on the severity of the condition.
