Frozen shoulder is characterized by progressive stiffness, pain, and loss of motion in the shoulder joint. It develops when the joint capsule becomes inflamed, thickened, and restricted, limiting the shoulder’s ability to move freely. As mobility decreases, surrounding muscles compensate by guarding, which can further slow recovery and affect posture and daily activities. Restoring shoulder mechanics and movement is essential for improving function and long-term outcomes. By combining chiropractic adjustments and shockwave therapy, we’re able to help frozen shoulder progress through its stages more smoothly—getting patients moving and feeling better sooner.
