Frozen Shoulder FAQs: Unfreeze Your Mobility with Confidence

Key symptoms include:

• Gradual onset of shoulder pain, worsening over time
• Stiffness and reduced range of motion
• Difficulty performing daily activities like dressing or reaching overhead
• Pain that disrupts sleep, especially when lying on the affected side

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, consult Dr. Lalit Modi for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

While the exact cause is unknown, common factors include:

• Prolonged immobility (e.g., after surgery or injury)
• Medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or stroke
• Age (common between 40-60 years)
• Gender (more prevalent in women)

Dr. Lalit Modi specializes in identifying underlying causes to ensure effective treatment.

Frozen shoulder progresses through three stages:

1. Freezing stage: Pain increases, and movement becomes restricted.
2. Frozen stage: Pain may reduce, but stiffness worsens.
3. Thawing stage: Mobility gradually improves as the condition resolves.

The condition can last several months to years if untreated, but timely care can expedite recovery.

Diagnosis involves:

• Detailed medical history review
• Physical examination to assess pain and range of motion
• Imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs to rule out other conditions

At Jaipur Joints Clinic, Dr. Lalit Modi ensures accurate diagnosis with advanced diagnostic tools.

Initial treatments focus on pain relief and improving mobility:

• Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroid injections
• Physical therapy: Customized exercises to regain shoulder movement
• Hot/cold therapy: To reduce pain and swelling
• Hydrodilatation: Injecting fluid into the joint to stretch the capsule

Dr. Lalit Modi emphasizes non-invasive treatments before considering surgery.

Surgery may be required if non-surgical methods fail. Common procedures include:

• Shoulder arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery to release the tight capsule.
• Manipulation under anesthesia: Gently moving the shoulder to break adhesions.

Dr. Modi uses cutting-edge techniques to ensure successful outcomes with minimal recovery time.

Recovery depends on the severity and treatment approach:

• Non-surgical treatments: Improvement within 6-12 weeks of therapy
• Surgery: Full recovery in 3-6 months with physical therapy

Dr. Modi provides a personalized recovery plan for faster and effective results.
