The best Orthopedic Surgeon in Greater Noida West, Dr. Nitin Srivastava explained about Adhesive Capsulitis. Adhesive capsulitis, commonly referred to as frozen shoulder, is a common condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder. This condition is the result of a tightening or thickening of the capsule of connective tissue that protects the structures of the shoulder. Although the exact cause of frozen shoulder is unknown, it often occurs after a shoulder injury or shoulder surgery, or as a complication of diabetes. Symptoms of frozen shoulder tend to worsen over time, however, even without treatment, symptoms may resolve on their own in about two years time.

Symptoms of Adhesive Capsulitis:

Pain in shoulder. Worsening of shoulder pain at night.
Pain may subside and stiffness then occurs, causing limited range of motion that gradually worsens as the joint stiffness increase

  • Anti-inflammatory medication

  • Corticosteroid injections
