What To Expect After a Car Accident:

• If you have been in a car crash one of the most common injuries is to the upper spine, and neck.
• Other common symptoms include joint pain, muscle pain, headaches, arm pain and leg pain.
• These symptoms occur when the vertebral joints and associated muscles and nerves are subjected to uncommon forces and movements associated with a car accident.
• Some people develop pain, stiffness and other symptoms 7-10 days after an accident. This is not unusual. Do not delay in seeking help and treatment.
• Effects of substantive crashes may recur over 6-18 months. For most people, the pain and other symptoms associated with spinal injury usually decreases with gradual return to normal activity.
• The amount of disruption to normal activities varies with the circumstances of the crash.

Our Goal is Your Maximum Possible Recovery

We want you to focus your energy on healing. If you have been in an accident, it is important to see a physiotherapist as soon as possible.

Frozen Shoulder is a catastrophe that often happens if a shoulder impingement injury is left untreated. Frozen shoulder requires a physician for diagnosis.

Frozen Shoulder is one more misunderstood musculoskeletal condition. The common belief is that Frozen Shoulder is idiopathic in nature (It means it does have a true cause). If you have any of the Frozen Shoulder risk factors, then you need to increase your awareness of the condition and   important thing to do is , take early steps to help prevent the condition from developing.

Problem arises when the injured tissue (through immobilization) fails to receive the enhanced blood flow that it needs to properly regenerate new, healthy tissue. As a result, of this the scar tissue continues to build to unprecedented levels.

Eventually, the accumulation of the scar tissue will bond to  a healthy tissue within the joint capsule and such bonds further restrict movement of the shoulder. Now, if you have been living with the agony of a frozen shoulder, it is almost a sure that you are feeling discouraged and worn-out.  Simple chores will be now impossible such as grabbing a book from a high shelf or even putting your seat belt. The constant shoulder pain will interrupt your sleep also , just adding to the overall long-term misery that this condition can bring to you.

A person suffering from a frozen shoulder will have a persistently painful and stiff shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms   also develop gradually.

The shoulder is made of three bones: The shoulder blade, the collarbone, and the upper arm bone, or humerus. Shoulder has a ball-and-socket joint. This is round head of the upper arm bone that fits into this socket. The connective tissue, known as the shoulder capsule, surrounds this joint. Synovial fluid enables the joint to move without any friction.

Frozen shoulder happens when the scar tissue forms in the shoulder. This will cause the shoulder joint’s capsule to thicken and tighten, leaving less room for movement. Movements also may become more stiff and painful. The exact cause for this is not fully understood, and it cannot always be identified.

Common risk factors for frozen shoulder are:

• Age: Over 40 years of age.
• Gender:70 percent with frozen shoulder are women.
• Recent trauma:Surgery or any arm fracture can lead to immobility during recovery, and this may cause the shoulder capsule to stiffen.
• Diabetes: people with diabetes develop frozen shoulder. Symptoms may be more severe. But the reasons are unclear

Many   individuals also attended physical therapy sessions once or twice a week, and the combination of consistent home treatments and physical therapy will result in a strong, successful outcome.
