Sayer Clinics’ Chiropractors and therapists are very experienced in the diagnosis and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries.

What is frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder or ‘adhesive capsulitis’ is a condition which affects shoulder joint mobility with stiffness and pain and occurs usually between the ages of 40 and 60. Unaided recovery can be slow and symptoms can last for two to three years.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is made using orthopaedic and neurological tests and may, if necessary, utilise diagnostic Digital Computerised  X-Rays.

Treatment

The aim of treatment at Sayer Clinics is to regain full pain-free mobility of the shoulder joint as soon as possible.

Our Acupuncture therapists treat painful musculo-skeletal conditions like frozen shoulder using medical Acupuncture or dry needling. We stimulate very precise points relating to specific muscles and tendon attachments to stimulate the body’s innate healing response.

We may use gentle joint manipulation and mobilisation, ultrasound and laser therapy as well as acupuncture to encourage blood flow, mobility and healing.

A clear clinical diagnosis may  require an MRI scan . Where the need for surgery is indicated we will rapidly refer you to the very best shoulder surgeon.
