Frozen shoulder manual manipulation

Background: Adhesive capsulitis (also termed frozen shoulder) is commonly treated by manual therapy and exercise, usually delivered together as components of a physical therapy intervention. This review is one of a series of reviews that form an update of the Cochrane review, 'Physiotherapy interventions for shoulder pain.'Cited by:  · Manual therapy treatment of frozen shoulder: 1. Warm up the upper quadrant with light to medium pressure 2. Deep work to the muscles of the GH joint 3. Moist heat 4. Stretching 5. Grade IV joint mobilization (arthrofascial stretching) 6.

A shoulder that is considered for manipulation is a shoulder with a joint capsule that is inflamed and/or tight - usually the shoulder is a Frozen Shoulder, and can happen without apparent cause. Sometimes, this can happen after shoulder surgery, after an accident or as a condition brought on from diabetes.

The use of shoulder manipulation in the treatment of frozen shoulder syndrome remains controversial. Opponents cite the risk of dislocation, fracture, nerve palsy, and rotator cuff tearing as limiting the usefulness of manipulation. A retrospective study of 38 shoulder manipulations in 32 patients was performed. Frozen shoulder manipulation loosens the connective tissue by quickly pushing the shoulder past the restricted point into the normal range in only one to two sessions. Physical therapy for frozen shoulder, in contrast, usually requires many months of rehabilitation. Manipulation is painful and is typically only done under general anesthesia.
