Shoulder adhesion, also known as adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder, is a condition that causes stiffness and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. At Align Health, we understand the impact of shoulder adhesion on your shoulder mobility and overall well-being, and our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing effective treatment, breaking down adhesions, and improving shoulder function.
Understanding Shoulder Adhesion:
Shoulder adhesion occurs when the connective tissues in the shoulder joint become inflamed and thickened, leading to the formation of adhesions. These adhesions restrict the normal movement of the shoulder joint and cause pain and stiffness. The condition can be caused by injury, overuse, prolonged immobilization, or underlying medical conditions.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At Align Health, we begin the treatment process by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your shoulder adhesion. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination of your shoulder to assess the extent of the adhesions and their impact on shoulder function.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on the evaluation, we will create a tailored treatment plan that aims to break down shoulder adhesions and improve shoulder mobility. The plan may include a combination of the following approaches:
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to improve shoulder range of motion, strengthen the shoulder muscles, and break down adhesions.
Manual Therapy: Our skilled therapists will use hands-on techniques such as myofascial release, massage, and gentle stretching to break down the adhesions and improve tissue flexibility.
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help improve shoulder alignment, reduce joint restrictions, and alleviate stress on the affected area.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Application of heat or cold may be used to relax muscles, reduce pain, and improve the effectiveness of other treatments.
Joint Distraction: This technique involves gently pulling the joint to create space between the bones, which can help reduce adhesions and improve mobility.
Electric Stimulation: Electrical stimulation may be used to promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and aid in the healing of the affected tissues.

Throughout your journey with Align Health, we will provide you with valuable information and support to help you understand shoulder adhesion and learn effective self-care strategies.
