Adhesive Capsulitis: Alternative Therapies
Common alternative therapies for adhesive capsulitis include:
Physiotherapy: A trained and professional physiotherapist can guide you through various movements to release shoulder stiffness. Therapist instructs you to move shoulder in specific directions. This breaks down scar tissue and slowly stiffness improves. You regain stability and strength in your shoulder.
Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation or TENS: Electrodes are taped to your skin at key points. Electric current passes to these key points. A TENS unit delivers current across a nerve pathway. This stimulates release of endorphins prompting pain alleviation.
Acupuncture: This is a Chinese therapy. Specific needles are inserted at designated points in your skin by a trained acupuncturist. These needles remain pierced for fifteen to forty minutes. Sometimes acupuncturist moves position of needles. These needles are extremely thin and flexible. Acupuncture is normally a painless procedure.
Exercises: Take help of a trained trainer to do shoulder exercises like horizontal abduction/adduction, side-to-side pendulum, and circular pendulum. Do weight exercises as instructed. Exercises of joints are painful. However, persisting with these exercises in a subtle manner eases stiffness and pain. Do stretching exercises using any stick-like object.
