Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Bahu Beku

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a condition in which the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and thickened, causing progressive stiffness and pain that can last 1–3 years without treatment. It is more common in people with diabetes, thyroid disorders, and those aged 40–60. In Malaysia, where many patients delay seeking care, frozen shoulder often presents at an advanced stage with marked loss of movement.

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

✓Gradual onset of shoulder pain and stiffness
✓Progressive loss of shoulder movement in all directions
✓Pain worse at night, often disturbing sleep
✓Difficulty reaching behind the back or above the head
✓Sharp pain at the end range of movement
✓Muscle wasting from disuse in chronic cases

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor early in the course of shoulder stiffness — before complete freezing occurs. Early treatment with corticosteroid injections and physiotherapy can significantly shorten the duration. Do not accept severe stiffness as something you simply have to wait out.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah doctors diagnose frozen shoulder through clinical examination assessing passive and active range of motion. We check for contributing conditions — blood sugar for diabetes, thyroid function. Treatment involves intra-articular corticosteroid injections to reduce capsular inflammation, targeted physiotherapy referral for range-of-motion exercises, and pain management with NSAIDs. The condition progresses through freezing, frozen, and thawing phases — our doctors guide treatment at each stage.

Can frozen shoulder be related to diabetes?▼
