The Benefits of Seeking Chiropractic Care for Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, limiting its range of motion. It often develops gradually and can significantly impair daily activities. Chiropractic care at Texas Spine & Sports Rehab Clinic in League City, TX, can help restore mobility. Dr. Alfredo J. Vazquez is here to explain how chiropractic care can help alleviate your symptoms and improve your mobility.
Understanding Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder typically progresses through three stages:
- Freezing Stage - Pain gradually increases, and shoulder movement becomes more restricted.
- Frozen Stage - Pain may diminish, but the shoulder remains stiff.
- Thawing Stage - Shoulder motion slowly improves.
This condition can last for several months to years, and without appropriate treatment, it can severely limit your ability to perform everyday tasks.
Chiropractic Care Options to Treat Frozen Shoulder
For patients suffering from frozen shoulder, Dr. Vazquez will use a variety of techniques to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and enhance overall shoulder function:
- Spinal Adjustments – Dr. Vazquez will perform spinal adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine, particularly in the cervical and thoracic regions. These adjustments can improve nerve function and reduce referred pain to the shoulder, aiding in the treatment of frozen shoulder.
- Shoulder Manipulation – Dr. Vazquez will use gentle manipulation techniques to mobilize the shoulder joint. This helps in breaking down adhesions, reducing stiffness, and improving the overall range of motion.
- Soft Tissue Therapy - Techniques such as massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy target the muscles and connective tissues around the shoulder. These therapies can reduce muscle tension, enhance blood flow, and promote healing, which is crucial for alleviating pain and improving shoulder mobility.
- Therapeutic Exercises – Dr. Vazquez will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition. These exercises focus on stretching and strengthening the shoulder muscles, gradually improving flexibility and strength. Consistently performing these exercises can prevent further stiffness and promote faster recovery.
