Adhesive Capsulitis: Lifestyle Changes and Self-Help

Simple lifestyle changes and self-help for adhesive capsulitis include:

1. Exercising a dormant joint is a slow process. Often you feel disheartened and irritated, as your shoulder joint does not seem to heal at all. Nonetheless, it is important to continue exercising regularly and consistently. This way healing is a sure process although slow.

2. Apply moist heat to your shoulder for ten minutes before starting stretching exercises. Apply a washcloth soaked in hot water for moist heat. This warms your joint and muscles surrounding the joint. You then find it easier to do your exercises. After completing your exercises, apply an ice pack on your shoulder joint. This will arrest or restrict any inflammation sustained due to exercises.

3. Use microwavable heating pads to apply heat to your shoulder. These pads are available in different sizes. Some pads are scented as they are filled with aroma-therapeutic scents.

4. Many chose cortisone injections for a quick fix of adhesive capsulitis pain. An injection alone is not always effective. A cortisone injection in combination with exercise and physical therapy is much more effective.

5. A planned therapy program with adequate rest at regular intervals, proper exercises consisting of stretching and movement, involving shoulder joint in daily activities, and adhering to other advices of your physical therapist can help you recover fully from your frozen shoulder.
