What is the secondary cause of adhesive capsulitis

[CuriousCat]

Hello everyone,

I am hoping to learn more about adhesive capsulitis and the secondary causes of it. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on this topic they can share? I am curious to know what the secondary causes of adhesive capsulitis are and would appreciate any help or advice.

Adhesive capsulitis (also known as frozen shoulder) is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and loss of motion in the shoulder joint. It is usually caused by an injury or overuse of the shoulder, but there are other potential secondary causes that can contribute to the condition.

Secondary Causes of Adhesive Capsulitis

1. Diabetes – People with diabetes are at higher risk of developing adhesive capsulitis. This is due to changes in the connective tissues surrounding the shoulder joint, which can cause the shoulder capsule to become stiff and lose its range of motion.

2. Surgery – Having a shoulder surgery can put a person at greater risk for developing adhesive capsulitis. This is because the surgery can lead to scarring of the shoulder capsule, which can cause the capsule to become stiff and lose its range of motion.

3. Immobility – People who have limited use of their shoulder joint for long periods of time due to immobility can be at an increased risk of developing adhesive capsulitis. This is because the shoulder joint needs regular exercise and movement to maintain its flexibility and range of motion.

4. Age – As people age, their shoulder joints can become stiffer and less flexible. This can put them at an increased risk of developing adhesive capsulitis.

5. Overuse – Overusing the shoulder joint can cause the shoulder capsule to become stiff and lose its range of motion, leading to adhesive capsulitis.

6. Injury – Trauma to the shoulder joint can cause the shoulder capsule to become stiff and lose its range of motion, leading to adhesive capsulitis.

Adhesive capsulitis is thought to have both primary and secondary causes. Secondary causes are any underlying conditions that may increase a person's risk of developing the condition. These include conditions such as diabetes, thyroid problems, shoulder joint injuries, and certain inflammatory arthritis. Other risk factors include prolonged immobilization of the shoulder joint, prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, and certain autoimmune disorders. Additionally, age and gender may also be associated with increased risk of adhesive capsulitis.

Adhesive capsulitis is a condition caused by the thickening and tightening of the shoulder capsule. This can result in decreased movement, pain, and stiffness. The secondary cause of adhesive capsulitis is usually due to an underlying medical condition, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, and thyroid disease. Additionally, shoulder trauma or surgery can also lead to this condition. It is important to identify the underlying cause in order to determine the best course of treatment. Depending on the cause, treatment may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and possibly corticosteroid injections.

Adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder, can have multiple causes. In addition to pre-existing shoulder conditions, such as rotator cuff tears, frequent causes of frozen shoulder include diabetes, hypothyroidism, and Parkinson’s disease. Other secondary causes can include immobilization of the shoulder joint, prolonged use of corticosteroids, shoulder trauma, and post-surgery rehabilitation. In some cases, a specific cause is not identifiable, making it difficult to create an effective treatment plan. If your doctor is unable to determine the underlying cause of your frozen shoulder, they may recommend physical therapy or steroid injections to reduce pain and improve the range of motion.

Adhesive capsulitis is primarily caused by an unknown etiology, however, secondary causes can include trauma, inflammatory disorders, and metabolic disorders. Other potential causes include prolonged immobilization, endocrine disorders, and medications. Additionally, underlying conditions that affect the shoulder such as rotator cuff tears and diabetes can contribute to the development of adhesive capsulitis.
