Here we can fix at Rehab Spine Physiotherapy Clinic
Frozen shoulder is also known as ‘Adhesive Capsulitis.’ In this condition, the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful. The buildup to the problem is a gradual process. It may persist up to three years, and then it finally goes away. The tissue surrounding the shoulder becomes tight, and there is a decrease in synovial fluid which is responsible for the lubrication of the joint. In most people, the recurrence of frozen shoulder doesn’t happen on the same side.
Frozen Shoulder Causes
Frozen shoulder happens more in women than men. Those who are in the age group of 40 to 60 years are more at risk.
