New York, has nearly 30 years of chiropractic experience and can help diagnose and treat your frozen shoulder injury quickly and effectively through safe, gentle chiropractic care.

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder

Symptoms may vary and will eventually get worse without proper chiropractic treatment. Frozen shoulder affects one side of the body and the pain can spread into the upper arm. Some patients report that their shoulder pain tends to get worse at night. During this time, normal activities will become more difficult. This progression, known as the “freezing” stage, eventually leads to complete stiffness, or “frozen” stage, in which patients are not able to move the shoulder at all.

Common Causes of Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a fairly common condition that affects mostly women between the ages of 40 and 60. Other risk factors include medical conditions, like surgery or a stroke, which prevent a person from moving the shoulder and keeping the joint flexible. Diabetes, heart disease and thyroid issues also increase the chance of developing frozen shoulder.

How is Frozen Shoulder Diagnosed?

A medical professional, like our doctors, can treat your condition through a simple physical exam, in which he will test the range of motion in the shoulder joint. He will then figure out the best course of action, which may include chiropractic stretching techniques, massage therapy, physical therapy or even acupuncture. Tests like X-rays and MRIs may be utilized to rule out more serious underlying conditions like arthritis.
