Let's take stock: when you lift your arm, does it hurt? Is it difficult to get dressed while trying to put on a sweater? Does your shoulder lock up at the slightest movement?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then you're probably suffering from "adhesive" shoulder capsulitis, also known as "retractile capsulitis".
The latter is often confused with tendonitis.
Adhesive" shoulder capsulitis presents as often very intense shoulder pain accompanied by a marked loss of range of motion.
It is divided into three phases that can last more than 2 years.
You need to be patient to heal from "adhesive" shoulder capsulitis. chiro sterose accompanies you on your way to well-being.
The process of "adhesive" shoulder capsulitis can take several months, sometimes almost two years.
It therefore seemed relevant for chiro sterose to explain to you how the so-called adhesive shoulder capsulitis evolves.
At first, you may face a phase of uncertainty because the intensity of shoulder pain will be moderate.
The first pains are mistaken for tendonitis.
As a result, you continue to mobilize your joint without care and this only results in more pain.
It may take a few weeks or even a few months before you notice that the shoulder capsulitis is enveloping your joint.
You feel a sensation of inflammation, the pain intensifies and your shoulder starts to lock up.
The inflammation will disappear and be replaced by a blocking stiffness of the shoulder.
Daily activities become difficult because you suffer from a loss of elasticity, fibrosis and retraction of the capsule.
Imaging tests do not detect anything abnormal, however your chiropractor will be able to mobilize your arm and see a blockage in all directions.
A first point to remember is that in 50% of cases, the causes of so-called "adhesive" shoulder capsulitis are clearly not identified.
They can be triggered after a trauma of the shoulder or when taking certain medications.
Capsulitis often occurs in the context of stress without really knowing if anxiety is the cause or the consequence.
Some examples of the causes of "adhesive" shoulder capsulitis:
Women are the most affected and represent 80 to 85% of patients who suffer from it. Symptoms generally appear between the ages of 45 and 55.
Once the pain has subsided, you can begin to consider rehabilitation of your shoulder.
Your goal is to regain full mobility of your joint.
For this, your chiro sterose practices manual mobilizations, series of stretching to gradually strengthen the muscle.
If you like water, balneotherapy sessions can help you gently remobilize your arm.
Also, the resumption of sports can be done gradually following the advice of your chiropractor. However, if you play tennis or badminton, you will have to be a little more patient because these sports mobilize the shoulder.
Capsulitis often heals very well but can leave after-effects of stiffness and sometimes affect the other shoulder. Never both at the same time, it's already a win-win situation.
