Frozen Shoulder and Chiropractic: A Natural Path to Relief

What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, causes stiffness, pain, and limited movement in the shoulder. It can make everyday tasks difficult and frustrating. While medications or surgery are common treatments, chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive way to help ease symptoms and restore movement.

Why Does Frozen Shoulder Happen?

Frozen shoulder happens when the tissues around the shoulder joint become tight and inflamed. It usually develops in three stages:

1. Freezing Stage – Pain increases, and movement starts to become limited.

2. Frozen Stage – Stiffness gets worse, making movement difficult.

3. Thawing Stage – The shoulder gradually regains mobility.

Chiropractors look at the bigger picture, focusing on shoulder mobility, spine alignment, and muscle balance to help speed up recovery.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help?

Chiropractors use a mix of techniques to relieve frozen shoulder symptoms, including:

• Spinal Adjustments – Improve nerve communication and posture.

• Shoulder Mobilization – Gently increasing joint movement.

• Soft Tissue Therapy – Reducing muscle tightness and inflammation.

• Rehab Exercises – For continued progression of shoulder motion and strengthening the shoulder for better function.

This approach helps relieve pain, restore movement, and support natural healing—without the need for medication or surgery.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

• Drug-Free & Non-Invasive – Avoids side effects of medication.

• Personalized Treatment – Chiropractors tailor care to your specific needs.

• Whole-Body Focus – Addresses overall body alignment for long-term relief.
