WHY CHOOSE FARMINGDALE PHYSICAL THERAPY?
There are four stages in the development of frozen shoulders: prefreezing, freezing, frozen, and thawing. It’s pretty common for patients to see our physical therapists in the freezing stage after they’ve already been experiencing pain for a little over half a year, or 9 months. At this point they’re already in a lot of pain and pretty used to not being able to move their shoulder the way they’d like to! At your consultation, one of our physical therapists here at Farmingdale Physical Therapy will assess your condition, pinpoint the exact source of your pain, take a look at your medical history, and evaluate your strength and mobility levels. He or she will also consider any other conditions that could be contributing to your pain, such as diabetes, an autoimmune disorder, or a thyroid disorder. From there a comprehensive treatment plan will be created just for you. It will most likely consist of targeted stretches, exercises, and best practices for you to regain strength and decrease stiffness and pain. WHAT KIND OF PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENT WILL HELP? Physical therapy for frozen shoulders focuses primarily on pain relief, using modalities, manual therapy, exercises, and at-home treatments. Your physical therapist’s ultimate goal is to restore mobility and range of motion to the affected shoulder.
He or she will teach you how to relieve pain with stretching techniques and strengthening exercises, most of which you’ll be able to complete at home to speed up the recovery progress. At the moment there isn’t very much we can do to prevent the development of frozen shoulder, however, the sooner you contact our office for an evaluation, the quicker we can address your pain symptoms and create your treatment plan!
