Q: Can physiotherapy treat frozen shoulder near Whitefield?
Yes — physiotherapy is the most effective treatment for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). At Omniphysiocare near Whitefield, we use graded joint mobilisation, stretching protocols, dry needling and home exercise programmes tailored to your current stage (freezing, frozen or thawing). Most patients regain significant range of motion within 8–12 sessions.
Q: What are the stages of frozen shoulder and how does treatment differ?
Frozen shoulder has three stages: (1) Freezing Stage — pain is the dominant symptom with progressive loss of movement, typically lasting 2–9 months. (2) Frozen Stage — pain reduces slightly but stiffness is maximal, lasting 4–12 months. (3) Thawing Stage — gradual spontaneous recovery of movement over 12–24 months. Physiotherapy accelerates recovery at every stage and significantly shortens the overall duration.
Q: How many physiotherapy sessions do I need for frozen shoulder?
Most patients with frozen shoulder need 10–16 sessions over 6–8 weeks to see significant improvement. Earlier treatment (in the freezing stage) leads to faster results. In the thawing stage, aggressive mobilisation combined with a structured home programme can speed up recovery considerably.
Q: Is frozen shoulder treatment painful?
Physiotherapy for frozen shoulder should not be excessively painful. We use graded mobilisation — working at your current comfortable range and progressively increasing. Pain during the freezing stage is managed with TENS, heat therapy and pain-relieving modalities before the mobilisation work. The goal is controlled, progressive improvement.
Q: Does frozen shoulder get better without physiotherapy?
Frozen shoulder can self-resolve, but this typically takes 18–36 months. Physiotherapy significantly accelerates recovery, reduces pain, improves function faster and prevents permanent loss of range in some patients. Most patients at our Whitefield clinic regain near-full movement within 3–6 months with consistent physiotherapy.
Q: Can dry needling help frozen shoulder near Whitefield?
Yes. Dry needling of the shoulder capsule muscles (subscapularis, infraspinatus, teres minor) and surrounding trigger points significantly reduces pain, improves range of motion and makes subsequent stretching and mobilisation more effective. We use dry needling as part of our comprehensive frozen shoulder protocol.
