Welcome to Body Science Therapy, your trusted partner for frozen shoulder treatment in Mississauga. We offer expert physiotherapy for adhesive capsulitis, easing pain, and enhancing mobility with compassionate care.
Understanding Adhesive Capsulitis
Adhesive capsulitis is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the capsule of the shoulder joint becomes thickened and tight, leading to a loss of movement. This condition can greatly affect one’s lifestyle, limiting the ability to perform daily tasks and enjoy an active life.
The Prevalence of Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder can affect anyone but is more common in people aged 40 to 60. It often develops in one shoulder and can be more prevalent in individuals with certain conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disease.
Impact on Mobility and Lifestyle
The progression of adhesive capsulitis can be slow and can significantly impact quality of life by restricting movement and causing chronic pain. The condition typically develops in three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing, each affecting an individual’s ability to perform routine activities.
Frozen Shoulder Symptoms and Causes
Early recognition and understanding of adhesive capsulitis are crucial for effective treatment. Common symptoms include:
- Gradual onset of a dull or aching shoulder pain.
- Limited movement in the shoulder.
- Stiffness that worsens over time.
- Difficulty with activities such as dressing or reaching overhead.
Common Causes:
- Immobilization: Following surgery or an arm fracture.
- Chronic Diseases: Such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Including thyroid disorders.

Adhesive Capsulitis Treatment Mississauga FAQs
How Long Does It Typically Take To Recover From Adhesive Capsulitis With Treatment?
Recovery time from adhesive capsulitis varies significantly among individuals, largely dependent on the treatment’s timeliness and the condition’s severity. With consistent, tailored physiotherapy, many individuals begin to see improvement within a few weeks to months. However, complete recovery, where clients regain full shoulder function and pain relief, can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Our treatments are designed to expedite this process and provide you with strategies to manage symptoms during your recovery.
What Can I Do at Home To Support My Recovery From Adhesive Capsulitis?
Home-based care is a crucial component of your recovery. We recommend adhering to a daily routine of prescribed exercises to improve range of motion and strength gradually. Additionally, applying heat or cold packs can help manage pain and inflammation. It’s also important to modify activities that exacerbate your symptoms, focusing on maintaining gentle movement in your shoulder. Our team will provide you with detailed guidance and support to ensure your home care complements your in-clinic treatments effectively.
Can Adhesive Capsulitis Recur After Treatment?
Although treatment significantly reduces the risk of recurrence, adhesive capsulitis can recur, especially if factors, such as diabetes or thyroid disorders, remain unmanaged. Our approach includes not only treating the current condition but also implementing preventive strategies to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. This involves education on shoulder health maintenance, exercises to maintain mobility and strength, and monitoring for early signs of the condition returning.
How Can I Prevent Adhesive Capsulitis From Developing in My Other Shoulder?
Preventing adhesive capsulitis in the unaffected shoulder involves maintaining good shoulder mobility and strength through regular, balanced exercise. It’s also crucial to manage risk factors that can contribute to the condition, such as controlling blood sugar levels in diabetes and maintaining an active lifestyle. Early intervention at the slightest sign of shoulder discomfort can prevent the full development of the condition. We’ll work with you to create a preventive care plan tailored to your needs and risk factors.
