Understanding Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a debilitating condition characterized by a painful decrease in the range of motion in one or both shoulders. This condition significantly impacts daily activities, affecting the overall quality of life for individuals experiencing it.
Navigating the Uncertainties of Frozen Shoulder
Our Treatments
Chiropractic adjustments, explicitly targeting the occipitoatlantal articulation, can address joint dysfunction and significantly improve the range of motion and pain.
OTZ Tension Adjustment
Dr. Sherwood has received specialized training in the OTZ Tension Adjustment, a technique developed by Dr. Francis Murphy in Dallas, Texas. A case study demonstrated that the OTZ Tension Adjustment improved pain levels and range of motion in most participants within an average of 4 weeks.
Trigger-Point Dry Needling
Depending on the duration of the condition, additional therapies such as trigger point dry needling may be used to treat the muscles around the shoulder.
Chiropractic Adjustments
In addition to the OTZ Tension Adjustment, chiropractic adjustments to the upper back and shoulder joint are often necessary to resolve frozen shoulder symptoms.
Restore Your Range of Motion
Specific therapeutic exercises to restore range of motion are typically introduced once pain and motion have improved.
