Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Frozen shoulder is the common name of adhesive capsulitis, an inflammatory
condition that restricts motion in the shoulder. The tissues around
the joint stiffen, adhesions (internal scar tissue) form, and shoulder
movements become difficult and painful. The condition sometimes
occurs because of lack of use due to pain caused by injury, but
can also arise with no obvious cause. Those associated with an increased
risk for this condition include those with diabetes, shoulder trauma
(including surgery), hyperthyroidism, and a history of open heart
disease or cervical disk disease.
Symptoms:
- Stiffness
- Pain
- Limited Motion
AC
Joint Seperation
The shoulders are the most mobile joints in the body, but unfortunately
this makes them prone to injury. A shoulder separation is the partial
or complete separation of the clavicle (collarbone) and the acromion
process (the top of the shoulder blade at the end) which meet at
what is called the acromioclavicular joint (AC joint). The most
common cause of a separated shoulder is a fall or blow to the shoulder.
The impact may stretch or tear the ligaments that stabilize the
AC joint. This separates the bones in the shoulder, creating a bump
at the top of the shoulder.
Symptoms:
- Intense shoulder pain
- Tenderness of the shoulder and collarbone
- Shoulder or arm weakness
- Shoulder bruising or swelling
- Limited shoulder movement
- A bump at the top of the shoulder
