frozen shoulder&#8221;<\/strong> <strong>syndrome <\/strong>usually affects women more likely than men, and especially in the age group of 40 to 70 years.<br \/>\nIt can be called <strong>primary adhesive capsulitis if no obvious causes appear to cause it<\/strong>, and <strong>secondary<\/strong> <strong>when it appears as a result of an event<\/strong> or other<strong> pathology<\/strong>.<br \/>\nMorbidity also affects people with prior diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, thyroiditis, heart disease, stroke, or even people forced into post-surgical or post-traumatic immobilization.<br \/>\nHowever, sometimes even people who are young and without disease can go through adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age can be a risk factor<\/strong>,<strong> but so can other factors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Gender<\/strong>, the female population is more exposed to frozen shoulder probably due to a hormonal swing and then as a consequence of menopause.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Diabetes<\/strong>, the incidence of &#8220;frozen shoulder&#8221; cases in people with diabetic disease is significantly higher with rates of 20%.<br \/>\nThe causes could be ascribed to the action of excess sugars that would block collagen proteins generating adhesiveness and joint stiffness, in one but sometimes both shoulders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Other prior conditions may be a risk factor such as<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Depression<\/strong>, a condition that can promote immobility and a general stressful situation.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Thyroid Dysfunction<\/strong>, both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Cardiovascular Diseases<\/strong>, by factors of circulatory failure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breast Cancer<\/strong>, especially for the changed condition of lymphatic drainage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orthopedic immobilizations<\/strong> resulting from the application of casts.<\/li>\n<li>A<strong> rheumatic inflammatory condition<\/strong>, which generates stiffness and immobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And other conditions such as Parkinson&#8217;s disease, post-surgical immobility conditions, or other conditions involving the shoulder joint, such as lung surgery.<br \/>\n<strong>Prevention may be more feasible in secondary adhesive capsulitis<\/strong>, usually caused by high pathology or a specific event, by using physiotherapy exercises that reduce immobility and stiffness of the shoulder to prevent worsening of symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>primary adhesive capsulitis<\/strong>, prevention relies on avoiding inflammatory conditions, mainly through diet and physical activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Frozen shoulder&#8221;
