Frozen Shoulder / Periarthritis

Frozen shoulder, or periarthritis, is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes painful, stiff, and difficult to move. It usually develops gradually, often starting with mild discomfort that slowly turns into restricted mobility. The joint capsule around the shoulder thickens and tightens, making everyday tasks like reaching overhead, dressing, or lifting the arm feel heavy and uncomfortable. Early, guided treatment is the key to restoring movement and keeping the condition from dragging on for months.

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder / Periarthritis

You may notice:

• Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night

• Stiffness that limits arm movement

• Difficulty lifting, rotating, or reaching behind the back

• Reduced strength due to restricted motion

• Pain during simple daily activities

Types of Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder commonly moves through three phases:

• Freezing Phase: Growing pain and gradual loss of movement

• Frozen Phase: Pain reduces but stiffness becomes severe

• Thawing Phase: Mobility slowly improves

Treatment and Process

Your treatment begins with understanding the stage and severity of your shoulder stiffness. We use non-surgical, evidence-based methods including targeted physiotherapy, electrotherapy, soft-tissue mobilization, stretching routines, and guided exercises. These help reduce inflammation, loosen the tightened joint capsule, and steadily restore your range of motion. Each plan is personalized so your shoulder improves safely and at a pace your body can handle.

Long-Term Effects of Delaying Treatment

Waiting too long can make the stiffness harder to reverse. The joint capsule becomes more rigid, the pain lasts longer, and mobility can drop significantly. Even routine tasks may become challenging, and the overall recovery period can stretch much longer than necessary.
