Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder Treatment at Dr. Vijaykumar D Orthopaedics
Advanced Care for Shoulder Stiffness, Pain, and Restricted Movement
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff, inflamed, and difficult to move. It typically develops gradually, often after an injury, surgery, or in people with conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disorders. Without proper treatment, frozen shoulder can significantly limit daily activities and reduce overall quality of life.
At the clinic of Dr. Vijaykumar D – Best Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore and Ex-Additional Professor of Orthopaedics, AIIMS, Delhi, we provide advanced treatments for frozen shoulder using a combination of minimally invasive procedures, targeted injections, and comprehensive physiotherapy to restore pain-free mobility.
