Two commonly treated upper quadrant conditions in out-patient rehabilitation are adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and lateral epicondylosis.\u00a0 Many articles have been published regarding the results of conservative therapy interventions.\u00a0 A variety of injections (prolotherapy, polidocanol, autologous whole blood and platelet-rich plasma injection therapies and cortisone) all have some promising results with lateral epicondylosis.<\/p>\n
We have learned from Bisset et al (2006) that subjects with lateral epicondylosis have greater pain relief in the short term with cortisone injections, but in the long term greater pain relief with therapy.<\/p>\n
Blancard et al (2010) has published the results of cortisone injection versus therapy interventions for subjects with adhesive capsulitis.\u00a0 Although, a completely different pathology than lateral epicondylosis, the results are similar.\u00a0 Subjects with adhesive capsulitis have decreased pain and increased shoulder motion on the short term after cortisone injection, but subjects attending therapy have greater long term results.<\/p>\n
This is good news for therapy!\u00a0 However, lets watch for the results for studies where subjects have both therapy interventions and cortisone injections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
