Suggest Effective Treatment For Frozen Shoulders

Hi Dr.Samuel I have frozen shoulder due to partial rotator cuff tear in October 2013. I am under waiting list for manipulation of right shoulder in hospital. My shoulder is in frozen stage now and there is no pain unless I do stretching exercises. I am taking natural anti-inflammatory tablets and fish oil. Please provide any tips that may speed up recovery so I can return to work soon. Thank you Regards Suman

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical Musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

As you have frozen shoulder you may be having restriction of shoulder mobility. Also, you are taking Anti-inflammatory drug and fish oil for the same which is a good idea. Now pain is only when you stretch, so you must be avoiding it. You are even waiting for the manipulation of the shoudler under GA which is also a good choice.

Trying out a tuff Shoulder rehabilitation under a physical therapist should help you regain the mobility earlier and faster. Remember "No Pain No Gain". A thorough rehabilitation will help you regain full shoulder mobility and also strength in the muscles.

Physical therapy required - Mobilization, ROM exercises, Strengthening exercises, MFR, TENS, Ultrasound and Hot packs.

Also, in my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy and does not need Manipulation under GA. In around 6-8 weeks of time complete shoulder mobility is regained.
