Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It progresses through three stages—freezing, frozen, and thawing—over several months to years. Here’s a guide on alleviating frozen shoulder symptoms, specifically tailored for those in Singapore.
1. Physiotherapy & Stretching Exercises - Physiotherapy clinics like Core Concepts, Rapid Physiocare, and The Rehab Lab in Singapore specialize in frozen shoulder rehabilitation.
2. Pain Management - Apply a warm compress or heat pad to relax the muscles. Over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen can help relieve inflammation and pain.
3. Corticosteroid Injections - Reduces inflammation and pain in the shoulder joint. Orthopedic specialists at Raffles Hospital, Mount Elizabeth, or Parkway East offer this treatment.
4. Non-Surgical Treatments - A saline and steroid injection to stretch the joint capsule and improve mobility. Some clinics in Singapore offer this as an alternative for pain relief.
