Adhesive Capsulitis: An Acupuncturist’s Guide in Assessment & Treatment
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a painful, inflammatory condition characterized by loss of active and passive shoulder motion secondary to thickening and contracture of the joint capsule. Numerous conditions can produce symptoms similar to adhesive capsulitis including rotator cuff tears, glenohumeral arthritis, crystalline arthropathy and cervical radiculopathy. In this presentation, we will examine important assessment strategies that will differentiate adhesive capsulitis from these other conditions. This will lead the acupuncturist to an effective treatment strategy that will involve local, adjacent and distal point prescriptions in addition to myofascial release techniques, facilitated stretching techniques and basic rehabilitative exercises.
