Dear Nidhi,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a

condition that causes restriction of motion in the

shoulder joint. The cause of a frozen shoulder is not

well understood, but it often occurs for no known

reason. Frozen shoulder causes the capsule surrounding

the shoulder joint to contract and form scar tissue.

 

Possible Causes:

Most often, frozen shoulder occurs with no associated

injury or discernible cause. There are patients who

develop a frozen shoulder after a traumatic injury to

the shoulder, but this is not the usual cause. Some

risk factors for developing a frozen shoulder include:

 

-Age & Gender

Frozen shoulder most commonly affects patients

between the ages of 40 to 60 years old, and it is

twice as common in women than in men.

 

-Endocrine Disorders

Patients with diabetes are at particular risk

for developing a frozen shoulder. Other endocrine

abnormalities, such as thyroid problems, can also lead

to this condition.

 

-Shoulder Trauma or Surgery

Patients who sustain a shoulder injury, or

undergo surgery on the shoulder can develop a frozen

shoulder joint. When injury or surgery is followed by

prolonged joint immobilization, the risk of developing

a frozen shoulder is highest.

 

-Other Systemic Conditions

Several systemic conditions such as heart

disease and Parkinson's disease have also been

associated with an increased risk for developing a

frozen shoulder.

 

 

No one really understands why some people develop a

frozen shoulder. For some reason, the shoulder joint

becomes stiff and scarred. The shoulder joint is a

ball and socket joint. The ball is the top of the arm

bone (the humeral head), and the socket is part of the

shoulder blade (the glenoid). Surrounding this

ball-and-socket joint is a capsule of tissue the

envelops the joint.

 

Normally, the shoulder joint allows more motion than

any other joint in the body. When a patient develops a

frozen shoulder, the capsule surround the joint

contracts. The patients form bands of scar tissue

called adhesions. The contraction of the capsule and

the formation of the adhesions cause the frozen

shoulder to become stiff and cause movement to become

painful.

 

A frozen shoulder causes a typical set of symptoms

that can be identified by your doctor. The most

important finding is restricted movement. Other

shoulder conditions can cause difficulty with movement

of the shoulder, such as a rotator cuff tear;

therefore it is important to have an examiner familiar

with this condition for a proper diagnosis.

 

-Shoulder pain; usually a dull, aching pain

-Limited movement of the shoulder

-Difficulty with activities such as brushing hair,

putting on shirts/bras

-Pain when trying to sleep on the affected shoulder

 

Stages of a Frozen Shoulder:

 

-Painful/Freezing Stage

This is the most painful stage of a frozen

shoulder. Motion is restricted, but the shoulder is

not as stiff as the frozen stage. This painful stage

typically lasts 6-12 weeks.

 

-Frozen Stage

During the frozen stage, the pain usually eases

up, but the stiffness worsens. The frozen stage can

last 4-6 months.

 

-Thawing Stage

The thawing stage is gradual, and motion

steadily improves over a lengthy period of time. The

thawing stage can last more than a year.

If the patient has diabetes, thyroid abnormality, or

any other endocrine abnormality, heart disease, and/or

parkinson's disease, apply the pranic healing

treatment for the abnormality or disease prior to the

pranic healing treatment for the frozen shoulder.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the armpit and the

affcetd shoulder alternately with LWG and LWO. Do

this until there is substantial relief.

12. Consult your doctor for physical exercises such

as stretching, and the application of moist heat

treatment to facilitate the recovery of movement and

minimize loss of muscle in the affected area.
