Generally, people who experience this condition go through three stages:
- Freezing
- Frozen
- Thawing
While the definite causes of Frozen Shoulder are not fully known, doctors have narrowed down three major pre-existing conditions that can ultimately leave a person at a much higher risk of developing it. Diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Parkinson’s can all lead to Frozen Shoulder forming. In simpler cases, anyone who had limited mobility in the shoulder area previously-from fractures or surgical procedures- may be more susceptible as well.
The good news is that Frozen Shoulder treatment can be administered without surgery 90% of the time through physical therapy.
