What can I expect from handling frozen arm?

frozen arm, also called adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder syndrome, occurs when the shoulder joint mobility is limited and painful. This is usually due to the reinforcement of connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint due to the tissue of the scar from the shoulder injury or forced immobility after surgery or injury, but may also be associated with diabetes, thyroid or autoimmune diseases. The frozen arm manipulation releases connective tissue by quick pushing of the arm around the limited point to the normal range of only one to two sessions. On the other hand, the physical therapy of frozen shoulder usually requires many months of rehabilitation. Manipulation is painful and is usually performed only in general anesthesia.

During handling the frozen arm, you will be placed on the table and usually give general anesthesia, although in some cases local anesthesia can be used to anestrate the arms area. Orthopedic doctor turns the shoulder over his head and then out to the side until the movementTKNE flattened connective tissue. Your shoulder blades or shoulder blades will be reinforced and the orthopedic doctor will push quickly to release the bound connective tissue. The doctor then places the arm in another position, stabilize the shoulder blades and gives another quick pull. This is usually done at all arm angles that are limited.

After the procedure, you will need physical therapy to maintain increased movement and prevent swelling. Physical therapy is usually necessary for at least one to three weeks after handling. Sometimes the procedure will have to be re -performed to further increase the range of movement.

Handling the frozen shoulder is associated with certain risks that you should consider before consent to treatment. In rare cases, connee tissue can be torn or further damaged by forced extension, which increases the chance of creating the scar, which will again reduce movement. Physical therapy after the procedure can help prevent the development of scarsy and prevent the return of limited movement. Excessive strokes during handling can also occasionally damage the nerve of the brachial plexus and can also break the humerus or bones with upper arms, and therefore it is not a viable option for people with osteoporosis. If this procedure does not improve the movement of the arm, arthroscopic surgery is the possibility to remove the scar.
