Clinically we have seen many patients with various and diverse shoulder problems. One such problem is the problem of frozen shoulder. People with frozen shoulder are typically someone who had a shoulder injury or surgery that required immobilization or someone who suffers from diabetes.
Until recently, it was common in cases of dislocation to immobilize the shoulder for long periods of time. But studies showed that while immobilization helped alleviate the pain of such injuries, it also contributed to a general weakening of the ligaments and predominance of “adhesive capsulitis,” where the arm is frozen (frozen shoulder) and can no longer be lifted. In cases of painful shoulder and instability, the shoulder ligaments and tendons within the shoulder joint capsule, when damaged, can cause a “swelling” or thickening of the tissue within the shoulder, preventing normal range of motion. It is during this time that scar tissue can form.
Many people contact us after they have had tradition treatments for their frozen shoulder. This included manipulation, stretching, corticosteroids, injectable painkillers or numbing agents and various other remedies. Sometimes these treatments work well. Sometimes they work well enough. Sometimes they do not help at all and another surgery may be called for. In these cases people may reach out to us to see if regenerative medicine injections may help.
