Frozen shoulder (also referred to as adhesive capsulitis) is a condition often diagnosed when someone experiences ongoing shoulder stiffness and pain that lasts at least several weeks at a time. It\u2019s most likely to develop when inflammation increases around the shoulder due to shoulder immobility or problems stretching and flexing the shoulder normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commonly occurs when\u00a0someone is\u00a0recovering from an injury. Frozen shoulder sometimes occurs when someone is wearing a sling or cast, healing from surgery, suffering from arthritis or experiencing a limited range of motion for another reason, such as a result of a\u00a0sedentary lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people develop frozen shoulder in stages and experience persistent muscle or\u00a0joint pain, along with stiffness, for several months or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for frozen shoulder to last for up to a year if left untreated, which can make it hard to exercise, sleep normally and go about other normal life activities pain-free. Usually, the longer shoulder pain persists, the more limited mobility becomes. This only tends to make frozen shoulder pain worse in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early treatment of frozen shoulder using targeted shoulder exercises, stretches and natural anti-inflammatory applications can help control symptoms and prevent worsening stiffness. Harvard Medical School calls shoulder stretching exercises \u201cthe cornerstone of treating frozen shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Older people, and those with other medical conditions related to high levels of\u00a0inflammation\u00a0(like\u00a0diabetes or thyroid problems), are more likely to experience\u00a0frozen shoulder, so controlling these conditions through a healthy lifestyle also helps lower the risk for injury and complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
