Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Overview:
Characterized by progressive loss of shoulder range of motion and pain, often following injury, inflammation, or immobility.
Chiropractic:
Thoracic spine and scapular adjustments to improve upper extremity biomechanics and shoulder motion.
Rehab:
Capsular stretching, active and passive ROM work, joint mobilizations, and progressive loading once mobility returns.
Nutrition:
Lifestyle habits that regulate inflammation (stable meals, hydration, movement) support tissue recovery.
Functional Medicine:
Assess insulin resistance, thyroid function, and systemic inflammation as underlying drivers.
Acupuncture:
Target shoulder-specific points (LI15, SI9), as well as liver and spleen meridians for pain and inflammation.
Dry Needling:
Target rotator cuff, deltoid, infraspinatus, and subscapularis for pain modulation and range restoration.
