Hombro congelado - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Capsulitis adhesiva (bursitis adherente)

Prevención:

La mejor forma de prevenir el hombro congelado es consultar con el médico si se presenta dolor en esa área que limita el rango de movimiento durante un período de tiempo prolongado. Esto permitirá el tratamiento temprano y ayudará a evitar la rigidez.

Las personas diabéticas tendrán menos probabilidad de desarrollar hombro congelado si mantienen su enfermedad bajo control.
