Personalised Chiropractic Care for Frozen Shoulder in London
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, causes pain and progressive stiffness in the shoulder joint. Reaching overhead, behind your back or lying on the affected side can become very difficult.
I’m Dr Ida Norgaard, a chiropractor at Inc-Health in central London. I assess the shoulder together with the neck and upper back, because problems in these areas can look similar or add to the stiffness. See also our shoulder pain page.

Understanding Frozen Shoulder
Common Causes of Frozen Shoulder
The cause is often unclear. Frozen shoulder is more common between the ages of 40 and 60, in women, after injury or surgery, and in people with diabetes or thyroid conditions. The joint capsule becomes inflamed and tight.
It typically moves through painful, stiff and recovery stages over many months. Chiropractic care may help to manage pain, maintain movement and ease strain in the neck and upper back, alongside exercises and medical advice where needed.
Clear, personalised care for frozen shoulder
Every frozen shoulder consultation starts with listening and a thorough assessment of your shoulder, neck and upper back, followed by clear advice on your next steps.

- Pain in the left arm, jaw or shoulder with chest pain, sweating or breathlessness

How We Help
How Can a Chiropractor Help With Frozen Shoulder?
I take a detailed history and examine the shoulder, neck and upper back to confirm the pattern of stiffness and rule out other causes. Treatment is gentle and adjusted to the stage you are in, and may include soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, and exercises.
In the painful stage the aim is comfort and keeping movement within tolerance; in the stiff stage more active stretching is introduced. If you may need injections, imaging or specialist review, I will refer you.
Treatment is non-surgical and drug-free, and your response is reviewed as we go. If your symptoms need further investigation, Dr Norgaard will refer you.

Frozen Shoulder Symptoms
Shoulder Stiffness and Night Pain
Typical symptoms are a deep, aching shoulder pain that is worse at night, difficulty putting on a coat or reaching a shelf, and a shoulder that feels locked when you try to lift or rotate the arm.
Gentle, regular movement within comfort, warmth and supportive pillows at night can ease symptoms while you are being assessed. If shoulder pain comes with chest pain, breathlessness or sweating, call 999. See also neck pain.
Your Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Frozen Shoulder
Can a chiropractor help with frozen shoulder?
Chiropractic care can help manage pain and maintain movement in frozen shoulder, together with exercises and advice. Recovery is usually slow, whatever the treatment.
How long does frozen shoulder last?
It often takes many months, and sometimes longer, to move through the painful, stiff and recovery stages.
Is it frozen shoulder or a rotator cuff problem?
They can look similar. Frozen shoulder limits movement in every direction, even when someone else moves your arm. I examine the shoulder to tell them apart.
Should I rest my shoulder?
Gentle movement within comfort usually helps more than complete rest. I will give you suitable exercises after your assessment.
When should I seek urgent help?
Call 999 if shoulder or arm pain comes with chest pain, breathlessness or sweating. See your GP for fever, unexplained weight loss or constant night pain.
What happens at a first frozen shoulder appointment?
Dr Norgaard takes a detailed history, examines you, explains what she finds and discusses a personalised plan that may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice. The first visit lasts 45 to 60 minutes. See your first visit.
How many sessions will I need for frozen shoulder?
This depends on your symptoms, how long you have had them and how you respond to care. Dr Norgaard explains what to expect after your assessment and reviews your progress as you go.
How much does a chiropractor cost in London?
An initial consultation of 45 to 60 minutes costs £160 and follow-up sessions of 20 to 30 minutes cost £90. You receive a receipt after every visit. See our chiropractor prices and book directly, with no GP referral needed.
