understanding frozen shoulder
Imagine one day your shoulder decides to freeze up on you, almost like it's saying, "That’s it, I'm taking a break," and then it just stops moving freely. This is what happens with a frozen shoulder. Officially known as adhesive capsulitis, it's when the capsule around your shoulder joint becomes tight and thickens, making any movement feel like you're moving through molasses. The pain can be a dull ache or a sharp pang, especially when you try to reach for something. It's not just about stiffness; it's about losing the freedom to move your arm the way you used to. Frozen shoulder is your body's extreme way of hitting the pause button, often without any clear reason why.
simple, at home treatments for shoulder pain
Heat Therapy: Applying a warm compress can help loosen up the shoulder, making it a bit easier to move. Think of it as thawing out your frozen shoulder, gradually restoring some flexibility.
​
Gentle Stretching: Specific stretching exercises aimed at expanding the range of motion in your shoulder can be incredibly helpful. It’s like gently coaxing your shoulder out of its shell, encouraging it to move again.
​
Pacing Your Activities: Adjusting how and how much you use your affected arm can prevent worsening your condition. It's about finding the right balance between rest and gentle use to keep the joint from locking up further.
