Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Regain Mobility and Say Goodbye to Shoulder Stiffness

Comprehensive frozen shoulder treatment designed to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you regain full shoulder function through expert-guided therapy.

Overcoming Frozen Shoulder: Your Path to Recovery

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition that restricts movement and causes stiffness in the shoulder joint. It can make daily activities, like dressing, lifting objects, or even sleeping, challenging. At our clinic, we use proven techniques to ease pain, restore function, and accelerate healing.

Understanding Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder typically progresses in three stages:

  1. Freezing Stage – Shoulder stiffness and pain worsen over time.
  2. Frozen Stage – Pain may decrease, but movement remains limited.
  3. Thawing Stage – Shoulder gradually regains mobility and strength.

Our treatment plans are designed to address each stage, ensuring a personalized approach for optimal recovery.

How We Treat Frozen Shoulder

  • Pain Management: We use manual therapy, heat therapy, ultrasound, and dry needling to reduce inflammation and discomfort.
  • Mobility Exercises: Targeted stretching and range-of-motion exercises to gently restore flexibility.
  • Strength Training: Gradual muscle-building exercises to support the shoulder joint.
  • Joint Mobilization Techniques: Hands-on therapy to improve movement and break up adhesions in the joint.
  • Postural and Ergonomic Advice: Education on correct posture and movement strategies to prevent recurrence.

"Dr. Jackie has been great to work with over the last few months. She’s fixed my running form. Taught me the proper way to lift and that stretching doesn’t have to be painful. The space is ever changing for the better and turning into a cool little community. I know if I pick up another running injury that I’m going right back."

"I’m in my 50’s and have been trying to regain my strength after injury and surgery for breast cancer. I had been struggling for years with back pain and shoulder pain every time I tried to start working out again. Erica quickly identified the sources of my pain, taught me proper posture and stretches for working out, and got me back to a place where I can work out on my own again. I highly recommend them"
