Thawing Your Frozen Shoulder

Thawing Your Frozen Shoulder

Is your Frozen Shoulder Responding to Traditional Care?

Frozen shoulder is a generic term used by physicians and the public to describe the loss of range of motion in the shoulder.  While a frozen shoulder may be caused by a rotator cuff injury which refers to a injury to any of the tendons that attach muscles to the humerus (upper arm bone), there are several more common but overlooked causes.   I have treated hundreds of patients with frozen shoulders that failed to respond to care because their diagnosis was wrong and the underlying cause was not addressed.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body with the greatest range of motion.  The shoulder is one of the most unique joints in the body because it is not supported by a tight enclosed capsule like most joints but instead uses several sets of counter- balanced muscles to provide support.   It is also unique in the fact that shoulder requires three bones (humerus, scapula and clavicle) to move in coordinate motion and the stability of the spine and ribs to achieve full range of motion.   I have treated patients with frozen shoulders caused by trauma, sleeping on their side, and even from coughing and sneezing because the slightest change to coordination of the muscles or joints linked to the should can cause pain, weakness or loss of motion.

corticoid injection
The traditional treatment for a frozen shoulder either involves a Cortisone injection into the area or physical therapy to force an increase in the range of motion.  These short-sighted treatments often fail and can cause more significant damage that may require surgery.  A more sophisticated approach involves determining if any of the major muscles groups are hypo or hyper tonic or if there are any limitations in any single joint involved the complete shoulder range of motion.   The final important step is to coordinate all the muscle and joint motions in coordination with the other muscles and joints.

The most common missed issues in frozen shoulder cases included:

  • Weak Latissimus Dorsi, Deltoid or Pectoralis muscles
  • Rib sprains or subluxation either anterior and/or posterior
  • AC sprain or subluxation either laterally or medially
  • Abnormal muscle coordination

Frozen shoulders often require specialized treatment to fully recover. I have found that Applied Kinesiology gives me the ability to test each joints motion and muscles strength to maximize their function. Applied Kinesiology also allows the physician to check the coordination of all the muscles and joints during the shoulders full range of motion in relationship to each other.  LiteCure Laser Therapy is a safe and effective method for reducing any tendonitis, bursitis, or capsulitis in the area while promoting the natural healing process.   Kinesio-Tape is an important tool for supporting the should while it is healing.   When treated properly the most severe frozen shoulder will have dramatic improvement within the first week of care.

If you have been suffering with a frozen shoulder or chronic shoulder pain make sure your healthcare provider has checked all of the possible causes.

A true treasure. A doctor, and his staff, that not only cares, but is an expert in his field. I travel from Northern Virginia to New Jersey once a month to see Dr. Zodkoy. A small price for the outstanding and knowledgeable medical care he provides.

Dr. Zodkoy is amazing. He has helped me where an orthopedic doctor and physical therapy has failed. He uses chiropractic techniques, applied kinesiology and nutrition in his treatment plan. He truly works wonders. I have never felt better. You are treated like family from the time you walk through the door. Marie and Christy are always welcoming and pleasant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I and my entire family see Dr. Zodkoy before anyone else for anything from sports injuries to ADHD to stress related issues. What he does works. He listens and catches things that lead to solutions. He explains what the cause of issues is, how he will treat them, and how long the treatments will take. I have referred dozens of people to him and every one has thanked me for the results they got from his treatments. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I cannot say enough about the treatment that I have received from Dr Zodkoy. I was referred to Dr Z by a friend and I am glad that I made that first appointment. He was able to diagnose my problem immediately. I was truly impressed with the results that soon followed my treatments. I would highly recommend Dr Z based on his experience, knowledge and his ability to get results.

I've had back problems for a very long time. I have 3 herniated discs that have caused me pain for over 15 years, sometimes severely so. After seeing several back doctors/surgeons, one who said surgery was the only option, this scared me away after hearing stories of things getting worse after surgery. I was referred to Dr Zodkoy who has since been a miracle. I no longer have the everyday back pain. I can pick up my kids, go golfing, stand for 14 hours a day which my job requires, and live a normal life. I have been so thankful for his therapies and would recommend him to anyone.
