The dog days of summer are here in New Fairfield CT, and while many are enjoying sunshine and outdoor fun, others are sitting on the sidelines due to nagging pain. If you’re struggling with neck pain or a frozen shoulder, there’s good news—relief may be closer than you think.
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder is a condition marked by pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. Unlike other conditions, even when a doctor or therapist tries to move the joint, the shoulder remains immobile.
The cause is often linked to inflammation or scarring within the capsule of the shoulder joint. This capsule contains ligaments that allow for movement—when inflamed, it can drastically limit function. While sometimes tied to trauma or surgery, frozen shoulder often develops gradually without any obvious trigger.
Frozen shoulder may result from:
Even surgeries unrelated to the shoulder—such as breast or chest procedures—can lead to frozen shoulder during recovery if mobility is restricted for too long.
The most common symptoms include:
The condition often starts with mild pain that discourages movement. As motion decreases, stiffness worsens—creating a cycle that ultimately leads to a frozen joint.
A complete medical history and physical exam is the first step. Your provider will assess shoulder mobility, ask about symptoms, and attempt manual manipulation of the shoulder. If movement is extremely limited, a diagnosis of frozen shoulder is made. X-rays or MRI may be used to rule out other causes, such as structural damage or scar tissue.
At Chiropractic Life and Wellness Center, our expert chiropractic team offers safe, gentle care for frozen shoulder and related neck pain. With a variety of techniques—including adjustments, mobility exercises, and personalized treatment plans—we help restore range of motion and reduce discomfort.
