Can’t lift your arm? It might not be “just shoulder pain.” 4
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) can make everyday things like getting dressed, reaching into a cupboard or fastening your seatbelt incredibly painful.
The good news? Most people recover well with the right treatment and rehabilitation, but it does take time and patience.
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that you either need to completely rest it or push through the pain.
In reality, neither is usually the answer.
If you’ve been struggling with shoulder pain, getting the right diagnosis is the first step towards getting better.
* Got a question? Feel free to send me a DM-I’m always happy to help if I can.
