Frozen shoulder is often used to describe any pain and restriction of movement of the shoulder and more accurately describes the less common condition of adhesive capsulitis.

The shoulder is a very complex joint and has many structures within it that can cause pain and be amenable to Osteopathy, physical therapy and acupuncture. Shoulder pain can also be referred from other areas eg, the neck.

Your osteopath will take a full history and examine the shoulder to determine the cause of injury and the tissue causing symptoms. At the Osteopaths we aim to assess regularly to make sure your shoulder pain is resolving so that we quickly pick up and deeper tissue damage that may need more investigation or surgery. We specialise in frozen shoulder treatment at our Glasgow, Paisley & Ayr branches.
