Correcting Frozen Shoulder With Chiropractic and Soft Tissue Therapies
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder. It happens when the shoulder joint’s capsule thickens and tightens, making movement difficult. This can be very frustrating and painful. Fortunately, chiropractic and soft tissue therapies can help improve this condition.
Chiropractic Care for Frozen Shoulder
Chiropractors are experts in diagnosing and treating problems with the spine and joints. For frozen shoulder, chiropractic care focuses on improving shoulder movement and reducing pain. Chiropractors use gentle adjustments to help realign the bones in the shoulder and neck area. These adjustments can help relieve pressure on the shoulder joint and improve mobility.
During a chiropractic visit, the chiropractor might also use techniques to help the muscles around the shoulder relax. This can reduce stiffness and make it easier to move the shoulder. Chiropractors often create a personalized treatment plan that includes exercises and stretches to improve flexibility and strength.
Soft Tissue Therapies for Frozen Shoulder
Soft tissue therapies are treatments that focus on the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the shoulder. Two common types of soft tissue therapies are massage therapy and myofascial release.
Acupressure
Acupressure therapy involves applying pressure to the muscles and soft tissues to help them relax and reduce pain. For frozen shoulder, massage can help by loosening tight muscles and improving blood flow to the area. This can ease stiffness and make it easier to move the shoulder.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a technique that focuses on releasing tightness in the fascia, which is the connective tissue surrounding muscles. This method involves gentle, sustained pressure on the affected areas to help loosen the fascia and relieve pain. By freeing up the fascia, this therapy can improve shoulder movement and decrease discomfort.
Combining Treatments for Better Results
Often, a combination of chiropractic care and soft tissue therapies works best for treating frozen shoulder. Chiropractic adjustments can help with joint alignment and mobility, while soft tissue therapies address muscle tightness and pain. By using both approaches, patients can experience more comprehensive relief from their symptoms.
If you have a frozen shoulder, it’s important to consult with healthcare professionals who can create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. With the right combination of chiropractic and soft tissue therapies, you can improve your shoulder’s movement and reduce pain, getting you back to your everyday activities.
