Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition in which the movement of the shoulder becomes limited.
Frozen shoulder occurs when the strong connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint (called the shoulder joint capsule) become thick, stiff, and inflamed. (The joint capsule contains the ligaments that attach the top of the upper arm bone [humeral head] to the shoulder socket [glenoid], firmly holding the joint in place. This is more commonly known as the “ball and socket” joint.)
The condition is called “frozen” shoulder because the more pain that is felt, the less likely the shoulder will be used. Lack of use causes the shoulder capsule to thicken and becomes tight, making the shoulder even more difficult to move — it is “frozen” in its position.
Rhus Tox is one of the most commonly used remedies for joint and muscular conditions, particularly when the pain is worse during initial movement and improves with continued motion or warmth.
Key symptoms: Pain and stiffness, especially when first moving the shoulder after rest. The pain may improve with heat or continued movement. It is useful for pain after overexertion or sprains.
Bryonia is effective when the pain is aggravated by movement and better with rest. It helps with joint inflammation and is indicated when the patient avoids movement due to pain.
Key symptoms: Stiffness and pain in the shoulder that worsens with movement and improves with rest. The pain is often sharp and localized.
Calcarea Carbonica is often indicated for individuals who are prone to stiffness, especially in the elderly or overweight people. It can be useful when there is a tendency to have weak joints or an overall sluggish metabolism.
Key symptoms: Stiffness, particularly in cold weather, or in people who feel fatigued or have a tendency to gain weight easily. The shoulder joint may be painful, with difficulty raising the arm.
Kali Carb is used when the pain is deep and aching, often felt in the shoulders, and when movement is restricted due to joint stiffness. It’s especially helpful when the pain is worse at night or after sleep.
Key symptoms: Pain and stiffness in the shoulder, worse at night or after rest. The person may also have difficulty lifting the arm overhead or behind.
Arnica is a well-known remedy for trauma and bruising. It is particularly useful in the early stages of frozen shoulder, especially when the condition follows an injury, strain, or overuse.
Key symptoms: Pain, soreness, and stiffness in the shoulder, often due to trauma, overuse, or injury. The person may also feel bruised or sore.
Rhododendron is helpful when the pain is aggravated by cold, wet weather and improves with warmth or movement. It is often used when there is a general tendency to stiffness in the joints.
Key symptoms: Pain in the shoulder joint that is worse in cold or wet weather, with a sensation of tightness or constriction in the joint.
Magnesia Phos is often used for muscle cramps and spasms, and it is effective in cases of frozen shoulder where there is sharp, spasmodic pain.
Key symptoms: Sharp, cramping pain in the shoulder, often relieved by heat or pressure. The pain may be aggravated by movement, especially when attempting to lift the arm.
Hypericum is particularly useful for nerve-related pain, especially if the frozen shoulder condition involves nerve impingement or radiating pain from the shoulder down the arm.
Key symptoms: Shooting or radiating pain in the shoulder, particularly if there is nerve involvement (e.g., pain extending into the arm or fingers). The pain may be aggravated by touch.
Ledum is often used for joint pain that starts in the lower limbs and moves upwards. It is particularly helpful when there is a sensation of coldness or stiffness in the shoulder joint.
Key symptoms: Coldness and stiffness in the shoulder joint, with a desire for cold applications. Pain in the shoulder may be worse at night or after rest.
Aconite is useful in the early stages of inflammation or injury, especially when the pain comes on suddenly and is accompanied by anxiety or restlessness.
Key symptoms: Sudden, intense shoulder pain with a feeling of anxiety, restlessness, or fear. The pain may come on after exposure to cold or after a shock or injury.
Gelsemium is helpful when there is a feeling of weakness or paralysis in the shoulder, especially when the condition is associated with exhaustion, fever, or nervous tension.
Key symptoms: Weakness and heaviness in the shoulder, with difficulty moving the arm due to weakness or lack of coordination. The pain may be dull or aching.
Sulphur is a good remedy when the pain is associated with inflammation and a feeling of heat in the joints. It’s often indicated when the shoulder pain is worse at night and when the person is generally hot-tempered or irritable.
Key symptoms: Pain in the shoulder joint with inflammation and a sensation of heat. The pain may worsen at night and be aggravated by warmth or exertion.
Cimicifuga is particularly useful for conditions of the musculoskeletal system, especially when there is deep, aching pain, tightness, and restriction in the shoulder joint.
Key symptoms: Deep, aching pain in the shoulder, especially in women, and a sensation of tightness or restriction in the joint. It may also help when the pain is associated with hormonal changes.
Ruta is commonly indicated for tendon and ligament injuries, including cases of frozen shoulder where the tendons are involved. It is often used when there is a feeling of stiffness or soreness in the joint.
Key symptoms: Pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint, particularly when the tendons and ligaments are affected. The person may feel better with gentle movement or pressure.
Causticum is useful for conditions involving muscle and joint stiffness, especially when there is a loss of mobility and a sensation of tightness or contraction in the shoulder.
