Question 1

Can frozen shoulder be cured without surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in 90% of cases. Frozen shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) is reversible. At DakshinRehab Hyderabad, we use a 'Fast-Track' protocol combining 3-Tesla SIS and Robotic mobilization to restore movement significantly faster than traditional therapy, without the need for invasive manipulation.

Question 2

Do rotator cuff tears always need surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. Research confirms that physiotherapy is as effective as surgery for degenerative rotator cuff tears. We focus on strengthening the remaining intact cuff muscles to 'compensate' for the tear, restoring pain-free function and strength without an operation.

Question 3

Why does my shoulder hurt at night?

Accepted Answer

Night pain occurs because lying flat increases fluid pressure in inflamed tendons (bursitis). It is a key sign of active inflammation. We use anti-inflammatory positioning and 3-Tesla therapy to modulate this pain so you can sleep while the tissue heals.

Question 4

How long does frozen shoulder recovery take?

Accepted Answer

Frozen shoulder has three biological phases. While untreated cases can last 2 years, our intensive protocol typically restores functional range in 3-4 months. We aim to break the 'Freezing' cycle early using high-intensity magnetic stimulation.

Question 5

Is Shockwave therapy painful for the shoulder?

Accepted Answer

It can be uncomfortable, but it is bearable. Shockwave feels like a strong tapping sensation. It is essential for breaking down calcium deposits (Calcific Tendonitis) and stimulating new blood vessel growth in chronic injuries.

Question 6

Can poor posture cause shoulder impingement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 'Tech Neck' and rounded shoulders cause the shoulder blade to tilt forward, closing the space where tendons move. We correct your thoracic spine and scapular mechanics to 'open' this space and relieve the pinching.

Question 7

Do I need an MRI for shoulder pain?

Accepted Answer

Not immediately. Our specialists use clinical orthopedic tests that are highly accurate for diagnosing impingement, tears, and frozen shoulder. We reserve MRIs for cases where we suspect severe trauma or if conservative care doesn't show results.

Question 8

What is the 'Painful Arc'?

Accepted Answer

The Painful Arc is sharp pain when lifting your arm between 60° and 120°. It is a classic sign of Subacromial Impingement, indicating that the rotator cuff tendon is being pinched by the bone above it.

Question 9

Can diabetics get frozen shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Yes, people with diabetes are 5x more likely to develop Frozen Shoulder due to collagen cross-linking. These cases are stiffer and harder to treat, which is why we use advanced 3-Tesla technology to aggressively manage the stiffness.

Question 10

Are manual adjustments safe for shoulders?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when performed by experts. We do not use forceful cracking. We use Mulligan's Mobilizations (MWM), which are gentle, pain-free gliding techniques that realign the joint while you move, restoring range instantly.
