Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Dombivli East

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and thickened, causing severe pain and progressive loss of shoulder movement. It typically affects adults between 40 and 60 years and is more common in people with diabetes.

Without treatment, frozen shoulder can last 2–3 years. With the right physiotherapy at PhysioKind Dombivli, recovery is significantly faster — most patients regain full or near-full movement within 3–6 months of regular treatment.

Frozen shoulder treatment at PhysioKind is stage-specific. Dr. Prachi Patil first identifies which of the three stages you are in — freezing (pain dominant), frozen (stiffness dominant), or thawing (recovery) — and designs treatment accordingly.

In the freezing stage, ultrasound therapy and IFC reduce inflammation around the joint capsule while gentle pendulum exercises maintain what movement remains. In the frozen stage, progressive joint mobilization and capsular stretching systematically break down the adhesions restricting movement.

Manual therapy is the core of frozen shoulder treatment — Dr. Prachi Patil uses specific capsular stretching and joint mobilization techniques to restore range of motion grade by grade. Heat therapy before each session makes mobilization more effective and comfortable.

Home exercises are a critical part of frozen shoulder recovery. Dr. Prachi teaches a structured daily program to maintain the progress gained in each session. Most frozen shoulder patients at PhysioKind Dombivli regain full movement within 3–5 months.
