Adhesive capsulitis, more commonly known as frozen shoulder is a common condition that occurs when the connective tissue enclosing the joint thickens and tightens up, reducing motion of the shoulder.

A study compared a group that had StemWave treatment once a week for 4 weeks to a group that received no treatment. According to post-treatment tests flexion, extension, abduction and external rotation of the shoulder increased and less painful. Internal rotation was about the same in both groups post-treatment. This shows that extracorporeal shockwave treatment is effective for treating frozen shoulder. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, come in to get evaluated!

Starting to recover?

In the office, we often see people who are doing well but have had a setback or exacerbation. These are normal and sometimes brought on by doing too much too fast. When we start getting back to normal, we don't want to jump back to what we were doing a few months back if we took a break. A good rule to follow is the 10% rule. You only want to increase activity by 10% from what you previously did and slowly increase activity level over time.

The following chart helps explain this:

Your hip flexor muscle are located in the front of your hip. They are used in walking ruining and any activity they lifts your leg up and brings your knee to your chest. Activities like forceful kicking, sudden acceleration, and rapid changes in direction can lead to strain.



Treatment involves myofascial or muscle work. Early phase treatment involves stretching hip flexor as shown.

It is also important to avoid sitting too long, especially with your knees above hips to avoid hip flexor shortening as the muscles heal
