Frozen Shoulder treatment in Salamanca

Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a condition in which the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed and stiff, which progressively limits movement.

When to see a doctor? If the shoulder hurts and moves less and less, especially when combing your hair, getting dressed or reaching for objects overhead, it's time to ask for an evaluation to tell it apart from other shoulder injuries.

Features: it usually progresses in phases, with initial pain, a stage of marked stiffness and a gradual recovery of mobility that can take time.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon or traumatologist, along with physical therapy and sports medicine, are the ones who evaluate and support this process. Consulting one of these professionals in time helps restore shoulder movement.
