Jacksonville, FL Frozen Shoulder Treatment

​Atlantic Chiropractic sees a wide variety of health issues in our Jacksonville, FL chiropractic practice, and one problem we see is frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder generally consists of three stages:

• the freezing stage which is when the pain sets in and motion starts to become limited,
• the frozen stage as the shoulder becomes stiffer and harder to move, and
• the thawing stage which is when the pain and stiffness begin to lessen.

While medications and injections are a common medical treatment, Atlantic Chiropractic finds that chiropractic may also help. The scientific literature confirms that a non-invasive approach can work.
