Irving, TX, 2015/ Press Release: OrthoTexas, Irving, a leading group of orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists, provide effective treatment for Frozen Shoulder. They use the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technology to provide relief to the patients. Whether your condition is in the initial freezing stage or has progressed to the frozen or thawing stage, the shoulder surgeons can help to restore joint’s movement.

Frozen Shoulder, or Adhesive Capsulitis, is a common orthopedic condition characterized by pain and stiffness in the muscles of the joint. It occurs when the capsule, that holds the shoulder bones together, becomes sore. This makes it difficult for the bones to move within the joint, thus, leading to pain. According to the surgeons at OrthoTexas, Irving, Frozen Shoulder may lead to symptoms such as:

Pain while moving the shoulder
Restricted range of motion
Pain may increase during the night or while lying on the affected shoulder
Stiffness in the tissues and muscles around the joint
Pain in the upper arm or outer part of the shoulder

Depending upon the causes and severity of the condition, the shoulder surgeons may recommend the following treatment options to the patient:

Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications to relieve pain and discomfort
Cortisone injections may be helpful for patients experiencing severe pain
Performing certain exercises, as prescribed by the physical therapist, may help to strengthen muscles and restore the joint’s normal range of motion
Shoulder Distention, i.e., injecting sterile water into the joint capsule to release stiffness and enable movement
Surgery may be recommended in severe cases to remove scar tissues or adhesions from the joint
