Adhesive Capsulitis
A definition of Adhesive Capsulitis (Stiff Shoulder or Hurt Shoulder)
Adhesive capsulitis is a result of the shoulder joint and the surrounding soft tissue becoming inflamed, swollen and then contracted, or shortened. Over time, bands of scar tissue may start to develop in your joint and connective tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments) making your shoulder less flexible and restricted in movement. Some people may get to the point where they have no movement at all. If you suffer from adhesive capsulitis you may want to consider using a dynamic splint to aid in your rehabilitation process. A Shoulder Dynasplint® System lengthens the shortened connective tissue and begins to restore your lost range of motion.
