What Causes Frozen Shoulder Pain and How to Manage It?

Frozen shoulder, medically known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a painful and restrictive condition that limits the movement of your shoulder joint. It develops gradually and can make simple tasks—like combing your hair, reaching overhead, or even dressing—extremely difficult.

At Pain Free Odisha, our specialists provide comprehensive Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Bhubaneswar, helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to normal activities through personalized care.

What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint (the capsule) becomes thickened and inflamed, leading to pain and stiffness. Over time, the shoulder “freezes,” making it hard to move.

It typically progresses through three stages:

  1. Freezing Stage: Pain gradually increases, and movement becomes restricted.

  2. Frozen Stage: Pain may reduce slightly, but stiffness remains.

  3. Thawing Stage: Shoulder movement starts to improve slowly.

Common Causes of Frozen Shoulder

Several factors can contribute to the development of frozen shoulder, including:

  • Injury or Surgery: Shoulder immobilization after fractures or surgeries can trigger stiffness.

  • Arthritis: Inflammatory joint conditions increase the risk of capsule inflammation.

  • Diabetes: People with diabetes are more prone to developing frozen shoulder.

  • Thyroid Disorders: Hormonal imbalances can contribute to shoulder inflammation.

  • Prolonged Inactivity: Lack of shoulder movement due to pain or lifestyle habits can lead to stiffness.

Effective Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Bhubaneswar

At Pain Free Odisha, our multidisciplinary pain specialists offer non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments for frozen shoulder, customized for each patient. Our approach includes:

1. Physical Therapy & Stretching Exercises

Regular physiotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment. Gentle stretching and mobility exercises help restore flexibility and function.
(Your doctor may demonstrate these exercises in the video.)

2. Pain Relief Medications

Anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid injections can reduce pain and swelling, allowing better participation in physiotherapy.

3. Ultrasound & TENS Therapy

Advanced physiotherapy modalities like ultrasound therapy and TENS help in pain modulation and tissue healing.

4. Hydrodilatation (Joint Capsule Distension)

In this procedure, a sterile fluid is injected into the shoulder joint to stretch and loosen the capsule—improving movement and reducing pain.

5. Lifestyle Modifications

Applying warm compresses, maintaining good posture, and gentle daily movement of the shoulder can prevent worsening stiffness.

Self-Care Tips for Frozen Shoulder

  • Keep your shoulder moving within the pain-free range.

  • Apply warm or cold packs to reduce stiffness.

  • Avoid heavy lifting or jerky shoulder movements.

  • Practice gentle yoga or mobility exercises.

  • Follow your physiotherapist’s home exercise plan regularly.
