Frozen shoulder treatment

Understanding Frozen Shoulder:

Frozen shoulder involves the thickening and inflammation of the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. This restricts the smooth gliding of the shoulder ball within the socket, leading to:

• Pain and stiffness in the shoulder, often worse at night
• Limited range of motion, making it difficult to raise your arm or reach behind your back
• Weakness in the shoulder

Treatment Options for Frozen Shoulder:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we understand the importance of individualizing treatment based on the severity and stage of your frozen shoulder. Our treatment plan may involve:

• Non-surgical management: This is often the first line of treatment and includes:
  
  • Pain management: Medications like anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers can help manage pain and discomfort.
  • Physical therapy: A tailored exercise program helps improve flexibility, range of motion, and strengthen the muscles around the shoulder joint.
  • Corticosteroid injections: Injections into the shoulder joint can reduce inflammation and pain.
• Surgical intervention: In rare cases where conservative measures fail to provide adequate relief, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery may be considered to break down scar tissue and improve mobility.

Hospitalization Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

Whether you undergo non-surgical management or surgery, our team prioritizes your comfort and well-being:

• Pre-operative assessment: We conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including physical examinations, imaging tests (X-rays, MRIs), and a discussion about your symptoms and medical history, to diagnose frozen shoulder and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
• Surgical procedure (if necessary): Our experienced surgeons use advanced arthroscopic techniques to perform the procedure through small incisions, minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery. The procedure is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia and takes approximately 30-60 minutes.
• Post-operative care (if necessary): Our team closely monitors your progress and provides pain management medication to ensure your comfort. Physiotherapy starts soon after surgery or immediately for non-surgical treatment to improve range of motion and strengthen the shoulder joint.
• Discharge planning: We work with you to develop a personalized rehabilitation plan to continue your recovery at home. This plan may include exercises, pain management strategies, and instructions on daily activities.
