Wow. Bill was really strong. I can only imagine how painful it was when you were trying to loosen the muscles and tissue. Thank you as always Dr. Doug, for taking such good care of your patients.
I suffered with frozen shoulder in the past and there’s nothing like that pain, after therapist and therapist and 18 months I was finally ok. Good luck to all who are in some kind of treatment 😊
Good luck. Hopefully it continues to improve. I've watched hundreds of chiropractor videos on UA-cam and this has to be one of the most disturbing cases that I've seen. It looks like someone opened up his shoulder and poured a bunch of concrete into it.
I love how educational your episodes are. As a massage therapist, I truly love this type of work. I hope he continues to see you. Can’t wait to see his progress to recovery 💙
So glad you enjoyed it jeff, as far as we enjoyed to see Bill’s painful treatment, I hope he will stick to it and he will gain is full range of motion. 🤞🏼
Jesus is the only way to healing, restoration and salvation to all souls. Please turn to him and he will change your life, depression into delight, soul heading from hell to heaven all because of what he did on the cross “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:13
Bill is such a trooper! I’m invested in watching his recovery with you Dr. Doug as you are the BEST! I wish I lived in NY! Please keep it up Bill I know Dr. Doug will make you whole. Love from Los Angeles. ❤
Watching Bill go through the pain just brings back memories of my own frozen shoulder. But I went to a good chiro down here in Florida and after 6 sessions. I was cured.
If Bill is seeing this, I hope this gets better soon. Mild backache/neckpain is awful, I can just imagine 1/4 of you body being frozen. With that in mind, I know that even with the torture chiros put us through, you’re still thankful for it after the fact. Hopefully we can continue following his recovery journey.
Dealing with a frozen shoulder is brutal ! Bill's looked like a really intense case.. I mean aren't they all but his was really cinching from a lot of areas. I hope he gets relief soon. It was nice to see some more range of motion after just one appt. Some of those moves would be painful but even extra with his condition. He was definitely holding his breath a few times... I totally get it.. sometimes digging in deep hurts so much but does bring relief when you stop and it can relax again. I hope to see his future sessions. I'm glad his first chiropractor was with someone so good !
Aww wow thank you Wendy, of course yes, frozen shoulder is brutal painful, such hard case is for me a challenge. If he keeps coming to the sessions we can make it much better, at least less painful.
I’ve had patients with frozen shoulder exactly like this guy, due to months in hospital bed due to Covid. Patients was doing better raising their shoulder back to normal after a month or physical therapy. Consistency of using the shoulder is the key. Pulley, arm slide, air-dyne bike to help move the shoulder and etc. Everything in moderation, patients can later start to feel pain due to over exercise.
Is it my imagination, or was the gentleman's shoulder in a lower position after his treatment? It looked so incredibly painful, bless him. I love your videos, and have been watching them everyday since discovering them last week. I enjoy your work with animals particularly. 😊
I had frozen shoulder for nearly a year & used to joke that it was an old football injury (I've never played football). I tried doing motion exercises, but adding magnesium pills to my daily routine is what finally worked. Got full range of motion now 😊
Dr Willen, I think this was the toughest one yet of the frozen shoulder that you had. You’re absolutely right about doing so much on the first visit, Bill would need to come back for more visits for sure. I hope he’ll get better but knowing Dr Doug, I know that he could definitely help him and it’s already looking much better 👍. Bill needed to come sooner when he saw that it isn’t getting better but worse, he’s already had experienced similar issue with his right shoulder. Have a nice 👍 weekend doc, you’re awesome 👏.
I Hope we can continue to film his case, but my first priority is to help him to recover a full range of motion. Thank you for watching the video Tanya.
Poor man. I have had frozen shoulder in my right side for over 3 years now, with no relief. Ten years ago, I had a full thickness tear on my left shoulder, and it was the most painful six months of my life. I cried non stop for a week after surgery, and spent six months in a very intense rehab. I fear another surgery for the right shoulder, and I actually shudder. As you say, the pain is no joke. Thank you for being such a thorough and caring doctor.
This guy seemed to be in such intense pain throughout. I really expected him to just stop and say “stop touching me!” Glad he persevered and hope he has a lot of relief.
Hi Bill 👋 glad you got some relief 🙏 you carried the world on your shoulders and have certainly seen things that common people won't see. If you feel it, talking to a pro is nothing to be ashamed of.... You have a great life ahead of you 🌈 Florida is awesome. Say hello to my fav City Miami Cheers from Austria ❤
So great to see such detailed work on the infraspinatus, serratus, subscapularis, and pecs. I treat these areas in depth on my massage clients and people are always shocked on what we find in there. Most generic massage places hardly brush over these high use areas.
Wake 1 hour early to be in a super relaxed state. Lay on your back with your eyes close. VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY, move your arm in different directions. As you approach pain, move slower, take a quick break if needed but don't give up. Let gravity and the weight of your arm do the work. Give your muscles permission to let go. You'll feel the adhesions break free. This is Not about exercise or straining. It's all about SLOW SLOW movements and relaxing your body as you feel you're tensing up. You need to be in a calm, quiet, meditative state and allow the muscle to let go. Pay attention to each movement and learn how your muscles interact. Do it every morning and you'll be amazed of the results. You can do this. The power is in your own hands. Best of luck!
Dr Doug..you feel that, right? Nope not at all 🥵😂 you said breathe with it and I realized i was holding my breath😲 like It was me. LOL I'm way to involved in these videos. 😂 I think Bill will be coming back, no one wants to live that way. Bill thank you for your service. And thank you Dr Doug as always great job
This poor guy grimaced every time you were putting weight bearing on his shoulder in every spot. It did look like he was able to lift his shoulder a little higher to his side and quite a bit higher towards the front. I hope Bill comes back for some more much needed treatments. Thanks Doc
You’re so welcome Jana, if every patients would keep coming back and do their treatment until satisfaction and no more pain, then I would be the happiest Chiro in NYC! He had already improvement on this one session, 👍🏼I hope he‘ll come back.
Good morning, Dr. Willen. Don't you think he has a little bit of scoliosis? Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for all the help you give to people and animals. Hugs.
You certainly mean scoliosis because of his uneven shoulders. It is possible that the shoulder get uneven due to a thoracic scoliosis, the patients mostly get a right scoliosis that means the left shoulder is lower than the right, in Bill‘s case it‘s the contrary. Thanks for sharing carina.
I have frozen shoulder right now and have been dealing with it for about three months, I never knew your shoulder could just lock up all the sudden, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro it's still on my list to come meet my 🥰. Lol. If I tried to come see you now ( 11 hrs drive) u would be dropping me off at the hospital. Can't sit or stand long at all with this pain. Thank you for all the videos of helping people and fur kids.
Hey Dr Doug. I like your hair. You had it cut. Poor guy I thought he was going to pass out at one point. I know how he feels. My history with my shoulders go back to my childhood. Dr Doug what makes the shoulder feel as if it is frozen? Is it pain and therefore we stop using it correctly 🤔. Thanks for all you do Dr Doug. I really hope this guy comes back several times.
As a regular chiropractor visitor and 100% believer, I can see, even though he felt all beat up at the end, you gave him a real going over, I saw that his shoulder had dropped and was looser. I would be very keen to follow this case.
Oh man! Bill is a real hero for all of the pain he endured. He certainly trusts you, Doug. I really hope he follows up; there was good improvement just with the deep fascial releases and adjustments. I’m just curious. Would Bill have a tendency to become more inflamed after this appointment? Are the coracoacromial and the acromioclavicular ligaments with something so inflamed over time? Does the capsule shrink and become uber-fibrotic over time too? Apologies for the questions. I’m trying to understand how Bill’s shoulder would tighten up so much cranially and caudally, at least from a frontal orientation. Just nerd questions…I really really appreciate what you and Bill are doing together. 🙏🙏🙏
Lot of questions here, and difficult to answer constructively, every type of inflammation is different! it depends on various factors such as the causes of the inflammation and the grades. Studies has been made upon frozen shoulder and it occurs that for example diabetes, hypothyroidism, Parkinson play a role as risk factors to develop frozen shoulder. Inflammation is not always bad, the bad thing about inflammation is when it gets chronical. Anyway I can’t tell you for sure wether Bill gets more inflamed after the appointment, I think less rather than more. Thanks for your interest taobarb.
I want to thank you for your generous response to my question. I should have cranked it back a few notches. I’m sure the etiology of this constellation of issues is tough to tease apart, but your approach really seems to get a lot of answers. I appreciate that. I also respect a need to protect some of Bill’s privacy in his treatment, even if he graciously consents for you to share this instructional information with us. It’s interesting that you should mention organic and neurological components in frozen shoulders of some patients, among others. I have a student with milder Parkinson’s who trains in iaido and Japanese jujutsu with me, and he has a frozen shoulder as well. He hasn’t received much help from his own chiropractor or neurologist, but he’s working on it. The etiology of his issue is unclear. He’s also a high ranking practitioner who has been active in more combative competitions, so things are complicated. As you can imagine, drawing and cutting with a sword or throwing another martialist requires a sort of special set of movements and strengths. He’s gained some mobility back and we’re working within his limitations, but he needs more help than I can provide him in class. So Bill’s circumstances piqued my interest. Besides being a trainer and martial arts instructor since rocks were dirt, I’m also a former dentist, so head, neck, and shoulder issues are pretty interesting to me. Anywho…thank you again for your kindness and for helping all of these wonderful folks and furbabies. It matters! Warmest regards, Barb
My mom has extreme frozen shoulder.. 15 surgeries and continued manipulation and injections... I'm sending her your videos and channel in hopes of changing her mind on chiro.
I found your video helping the horse named waverly. that video was very satisfying to watch been enjoying these other videos since! keep up the good work Jedi master Doug!
I’ve had frozen shoulder so I know the pain that can come up with it. Chiropractor acupuncture massage helped me tremendously. I had it for over a year.
I am in the middle of a frozen shoulder episode. It wakes me up. It causes great pain throughout my day. On top of all of this, I had a knee replacement and 3 months out from the knee replacement is when the frozen shoulder hit. I have been to an orthopedic surgeon and now in PT. It has gotten a bit better maybe by 5%. It is absolutely horrific. I feel that my knee replacement has went a bit backwards since the shoulder. I feel so sorry for Bill. It is extremely painful to say the least.
I had frozen shoulder before. It's very very painful. The only thing that helped me was a few shots and some therapy. It was years ago now, and it still bothers me alot. I have to continuously move it. Using weights has helped me alot. My other shoulder is getting bad now to. It's a real bummer. I wouldn't wish that pain on my worse enemy.
Re-Watching the vid: a friend of mine has that stuff too und the hospital is just ignoring it.... I'm so mad.... need to find a local chiropractor. Glad, that you show your work on the internet. This really helps explaining to the hill-billy-doctors.....
Bill needs reminded to “breathe”… I believe that reminding him to breathe through the pain will actually make it much better, tolerable, and also with each breath, you’ll be able go that little bit deeper into the muscle (which I know you know, being a masseur yourself). From viewing, and what most people tend to do.. they take that breath and hold it, gritting and wriggling… breathing consistently will make him feel much better and the body/muscles more relaxed… holding that breath gonna cause a massive headache 🤕. Too, I like that massage gun… Do you think you’ll do Gua Sha when you get towards the end of your sessions? He gonna be looking like a dark plum releasing all that, for sure… and probably the other shoulder since it was injured as well. Did you mention all your massage abilities as well? Looking forward to the series 👍🏼
Hi Dr. Willen... Painful situation... I had this frozen muscular problem too and it took me almost 3 years to get healed but it's very sensitive. I ve been through a lot of physiotherapy and painkillers...My shoulder was taller and effected my whole back and my fingers... It was a torture. I wish I had you as my physiotherapist. I am sure that I would have been healed earlier...
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro for sure I am doing much better now but sometimes I find my shoulder in a higher posture and I force my self to bring it to the right one. It is like my shoulder has a nervous twitch and holds that position . I don't feel pain anymore...
Wow this guy was BRAVE! I can’t remember watching anything quite so painful. I was making Mexican salsa and chopping vegetables and had to keep reminding myself to chop carefully as I was being distracted! Sometimes in life we have to go through the pain barrier but I was thinking maybe an epidural? Or something similar!
I have no doubt he noticed a difference the next day. Maybe a small difference, but he will notice it. Before I moved I had the best chiropractor, Dr Bob. He fixed so many things. Hoping Bill will stick with it.
I got frozen shoulder when I turned 50. Eating a KETOish diet helped alot. Fixed my type 2 as well. Lost a lot of weight. No longer type 2 or frozen shoulder. My frozen shoulder only lasted 6 months though. Was only my right shoulder. For the longest time every time I tried to shoot a free throw it felt like a bumble bee would sting the top of my trapezius.
My dad had frozen shoulder when i was little and every night hed lay on the floor and have me stretch his arm as far as i could until he started yelling and omg, i never want to experience that pain. But after months of helping him stretch, he was good.
I didn‘t know you have the same shoulder issue Heather! Injection help just the symptom to disappear for a while but they come back if the cause is not cured. Nice to see you tonight thank you for sharing, and good luck on your journey.
DOC!!! Oh I could feel his pain!!! Oh man!!! But there is definitely improvement!!! I soooooo hope there are follow up visits for Bill!!! I am sooooo totally convinced that chiropractic can eliminate soooooo many issues in the body!! Man, I wish you weren't 2000 miles away!!! I'd bring me and Abby!!! LOL Bridge.
Aww I know Bridge, but there are thousands of good chiropractors everywhere, I can’t believe that they‘re all bad.😅 thanks for always being here Bridge.
That spinal decompression machine it’s what cured my blown l5 disk a week and multiple sessions a day it’s what did it- never had issues again for over 7 years and going
I want a chiropractor Husband! Thats my dream!! 🙏🙏😍😁 I suffer from Hashimotos disease, and PTSD so my body just gets frozen all the time. I have two amazing Chiropractors( when one is on holiday his partner takes over) for 15 years! But watching Dr. Willen makes me wanna travel to New York because these videos are incredible!
I had frozen shoulder in both shoulders. Excruciating pain just flinching or moving quickly. I couldn’t move my arms from my side for a year. Two years later and they are better but I still have no mobility and my shoulder blade doesn’t rotate. This poor man!
I know.... I had shoulder repair for right shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. 2. Right shoulder arthroscopy with extensive debridement. 3. Right shoulder open subpectoral biceps tenodesis. Surgery was in April and still in PT. Just cannot get the shoulder to raise up without passive assist as well as getting the shoulder and arm to lay flat when laying on back. Dr. mentioned he could fix this by doing a capsule release of the scar tissue, but the scar tissue is still not mature enough and if he did the capsule now, it would immediately go back to the way it is now. He recommends waiting a bit longer until the scar tissue matures. Is this a common problem with shoulder surgery repairs? I see my Chiropractor as well and we just can’t seem to get the mobility back .
Difficult to say! Each case has its own process! some develop such problems others not, I‘m sorry to hear about your case. Must have been very painful. I wish you good luck on your journey Colleen.
I had this exactly some months ago and Theragun pro (forget all these other massage guns) did miracles in my life. It literally helped shift something there and I felt the move. In addition, Thai massage (she was brutal but saved me from the pain) worked alongside Those 2 things gave me my arm/shoulder back. 95% gone now and my case was worse than the one you see in this video.
A few nights ago I unexpectedly popped my right (I think) AC joint in a loud and briefly painful way, and I think it might have been an adhesion or fixation I've had since an injury in 2008 after which I had (probably) frozen shoulder that I think never really got better (until now), just worked around. The whole right side of my body has felt much freer since then and lots of other problem areas are shifting and feeling different from how they have for a long time, especially my right upper thoracic area and right atlas. It's amazing what a difference one shoulder joint can make on the whole surrounding spine.
I hope he can continue treatment and get better but by bit. I had this as well, not as bad. My cousin a rhumatoid arthritis doctor put me at about 25% movement and then i "cheated" and started to use other muscles to get my arm up and then it to peaked. I had work similar to this done, though she recommended cortisone shots. I didnt want shots. I had to break up scar tissue and loosen muscles. O e thing that also helped is i used EMS/TENS machine. I'd get hooked up and then go through various motions and exercises with it zapping. It seemed to reduce my amount of pain so i could move through the movement bette. I guess it intercepts the pain thing to your brain. Anyway, i have most my movement back. Took like a year. I hope he can keep getting help and work through because that is really painful and limiting in everyday to be in pain and not be able.to.move
Same here, same side. Bursitis on opposite arm. 59 and walk 4 miles a day but upper body is frozen. PT not helping much. Chiro helps some. Cant do my yoga.
So are you mainly releasing tension in the muscle. Like loosening a knot. Just trying to figure out what your doing when your shoving your thumb in his arm pit and in the chest area.
I had frozen shoulder. I put off going to the doctor for 2 years because I thought I needed rotator cuff surgery. Couple months of physical therapy I was back to normal.
I have arthritis in my right shoulder, but I think it was caused when I hit the floor after my first stroke I manage to work and some days it’s hell but I work through it
Wow. Bill was really strong. I can only imagine how painful it was when you were trying to loosen the muscles and tissue. Thank you as always Dr. Doug, for taking such good care of your patients.
You‘re so welcome Deette! ☺️🙏🏻

I can't imagine that pain Bill was in. So glad you were able to start to help him!
When it’s frozen, it’s really frozen…stuck and so painful! I‘m glad too! Thanks for connecting Melissa
Man, that just looks insanely painful. Hope Bill sees some long term improvement for his condition. I enjoyed watching this one.
Me too! So much PAIN!!! I really hope so too-may he see relief! God bless!
So glad you enjoyed it jeff, as far as we enjoyed to see Bill’s painful treatment, I hope he will stick to it and he will gain is full range of motion. 🤞🏼

Anyway I can’t tell you for sure wether Bill gets more inflamed after the appointment, I think less rather than more. Thanks for your interest taobarb.
I want to thank you for your generous response to my question. I should have cranked it back a few notches. I’m sure the etiology of this constellation of issues is tough to tease apart, but your approach really seems to get a lot of answers. I appreciate that. I also respect a need to protect some of Bill’s privacy in his treatment, even if he graciously consents for you to share this instructional information with us.
It’s interesting that you should mention organic and neurological components in frozen shoulders of some patients, among others. I have a student with milder Parkinson’s who trains in iaido and Japanese jujutsu with me, and he has a frozen shoulder as well. He hasn’t received much help from his own chiropractor or neurologist, but he’s working on it. The etiology of his issue is unclear. He’s also a high ranking practitioner who has been active in more combative competitions, so things are complicated. As you can imagine, drawing and cutting with a sword or throwing another martialist requires a sort of special set of movements and strengths. He’s gained some mobility back and we’re working within his limitations, but he needs more help than I can provide him in class. So Bill’s circumstances piqued my interest. Besides being a trainer and martial arts instructor since rocks were dirt, I’m also a former dentist, so head, neck, and shoulder issues are pretty interesting to me.
Anywho…thank you again for your kindness and for helping all of these wonderful folks and furbabies. It matters!
Warmest regards,
Barb
If Bill allows and continue, please show his follow-ups and improvements.
We‘ll do our best! Thanks for your interest Theo.
Love the elbow work, keep up the amazing work Doc! Love your vids, just for the elbow work alone, everything else is just icing on the cake.🙌
💪🏼 wow awesome! Thank you so much David.👍🏼
My mom has extreme frozen shoulder.. 15 surgeries and continued manipulation and injections... I'm sending her your videos and channel in hopes of changing her mind on chiro.
I found your video helping the horse named waverly. that video was very satisfying to watch been enjoying these other videos since! keep up the good work Jedi master Doug!
Exactly what I need! All those areas.. I have a frozen shoulder and in so much pain, limited motion and no relief. I sympathize.
I’ve had frozen shoulder so I know the pain that can come up with it. Chiropractor acupuncture massage helped me tremendously. I had it for over a year.
I am in the middle of a frozen shoulder episode. It wakes me up. It causes great pain throughout my day. On top of all of this, I had a knee replacement and 3 months out from the knee replacement is when the frozen shoulder hit. I have been to an orthopedic surgeon and now in PT. It has gotten a bit better maybe by 5%. It is absolutely horrific. I feel that my knee replacement has went a bit backwards since the shoulder. I feel so sorry for Bill. It is extremely painful to say the least.
Frozen shoulder videos are the most interesting that guy took that like a beast
I’d love to follow this Doug, thank you for what you do xx
You’re welcome V. We‘ll do our best to show you the follow up. Thanks for watching.
I had frozen shoulder before. It's very very painful. The only thing that helped me was a few shots and some therapy. It was years ago now, and it still bothers me alot. I have to continuously move it. Using weights has helped me alot. My other shoulder is getting bad now to. It's a real bummer. I wouldn't wish that pain on my worse enemy.
Aww I‘m so sorry to hear Aimee, that’s for sure painful, too bad the other shoulder has problem too.
I could feel his pain... terrible condition. Lucky to find you Dr.
After just one session his arm gain some movement.
Yes! Glad for that, hope we can continue the work, he really needs that. Thanks Aegli for sharing.
Benditas manos que an logrado sanar tantas personas que hombre tan dedicado y honesto dios lo siga bendiciendo con tanta sabiduría
Te agradezco de corazón Carina por tus cariñosas palabras. Muchas Gracias Carina. 🙏🏻😊
Re-Watching the vid: a friend of mine has that stuff too und the hospital is just ignoring it.... I'm so mad.... need to find a local chiropractor. Glad, that you show your work on the internet. This really helps explaining to the hill-billy-doctors.....
You‘re welcome!
How is this patient doing? Are there updates?
Bill needs reminded to “breathe”… I believe that reminding him to breathe through the pain will actually make it much better, tolerable, and also with each breath, you’ll be able go that little bit deeper into the muscle (which I know you know, being a masseur yourself).
From viewing, and what most people tend to do.. they take that breath and hold it, gritting and wriggling… breathing consistently will make him feel much better and the body/muscles more relaxed… holding that breath gonna cause a massive headache 🤕. Too, I like that massage gun…
Do you think you’ll do Gua Sha when you get towards the end of your sessions? He gonna be looking like a dark plum releasing all that, for sure… and probably the other shoulder since it was injured as well. Did you mention all your massage abilities as well? Looking forward to the series 👍🏼
Im going through tbis hell at the moment with bursitis on top of frozen shoulder the pain is nothing ive experienced ever 😢
Hi Dr. Willen... Painful situation... I had this frozen muscular problem too and it took me almost 3 years to get healed but it's very sensitive. I ve been through a lot of physiotherapy and painkillers...My shoulder was taller and effected my whole back and my fingers... It was a torture. I wish I had you as my physiotherapist. I am sure that I would have been healed earlier...
Wow, sorry to hear that! I hope you are doing better now!
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro for sure I am doing much better now but sometimes I find my shoulder in a higher posture and I force my self to bring it to the right one. It is like my shoulder has a nervous twitch and holds that position . I don't feel pain anymore...
Man I’d love to see his case progress
We‘ll do our best to make a follow up. Thanks Michael.
Wow this guy was BRAVE! I can’t remember watching anything quite so painful. I was making Mexican salsa and chopping vegetables and had to keep reminding myself to chop carefully as I was being distracted! Sometimes in life we have to go through the pain barrier but I was thinking maybe an epidural? Or something similar!
Epidural is the kind of treatment which wouldn’t help his shoulder issue, and he doesn’t need an anesthesia. Thank you for sharing your idea.
I just went in for a steroid injection earlier for a froze shoulder. I sympathize with this man because this s*** really hurts
I have the same issue.. what are the suggestions? Go for an operation or just see my local chiropractor consistently?
I have no doubt he noticed a difference the next day. Maybe a small difference, but he will notice it. Before I moved I had the best chiropractor, Dr Bob. He fixed so many things. Hoping Bill will stick with it.
I Hope that too. Thanks Carole. Glad you had a good chiropractor.
I got frozen shoulder when I turned 50. Eating a KETOish diet helped alot. Fixed my type 2 as well. Lost a lot of weight. No longer type 2 or frozen shoulder. My frozen shoulder only lasted 6 months though. Was only my right shoulder. For the longest time every time I tried to shoot a free throw it felt like a bumble bee would sting the top of my trapezius.
I had frozen shoulder once, not fun. I feel for you! 🙏🙏
Yes frozen shoulder are definitely not fun. Thanks for watching this one Laura
My dad had frozen shoulder when i was little and every night hed lay on the floor and have me stretch his arm as far as i could until he started yelling and omg, i never want to experience that pain. But after months of helping him stretch, he was good.
This is what i truly needed
Oooh I’m experiencing this right now! Ortho gave me a shot but it keeps coming back
I didn‘t know you have the same shoulder issue Heather! Injection help just the symptom to disappear for a while but they come back if the cause is not cured.
Nice to see you tonight thank you for sharing, and good luck on your journey.
I really want to see an update
I am anxious to see his improvement!
Thanks Marks for sharing.
Wow you can.see a little difference by the end❤️
We have seen even worst. Just a few inches of movement from the front and side thigh.. took months to get better. Little bit at a time it loosens up.
Doc you look great....like you've been working out. Love these extreme casings.
I do my workout everyday…otherwise I couldn’t do my job any longer. Thank you so much Gary.
DOC!!! Oh I could feel his pain!!! Oh man!!! But there is definitely improvement!!! I soooooo hope there are follow up visits for Bill!!! I am sooooo totally convinced that chiropractic can eliminate soooooo many issues in the body!! Man, I wish you weren't 2000 miles away!!! I'd bring me and Abby!!! LOL
Bridge.
Aww I know Bridge, but there are thousands of good chiropractors everywhere, I can’t believe that they‘re all bad.😅 thanks for always being here Bridge.
That spinal decompression machine it’s what cured my blown l5 disk a week and multiple sessions a day it’s what did it- never had issues again for over 7 years and going
I want a chiropractor Husband! Thats my dream!! 🙏🙏😍😁
I suffer from Hashimotos disease, and PTSD so my body just gets frozen all the time. I have two amazing Chiropractors( when one is on holiday his partner takes over) for 15 years!
But watching Dr. Willen makes me wanna travel to New York because these videos are incredible!
Let‘s get you in! 😀
This is awesome I wish i would have chosen this as a career path
I had frozen shoulder in both shoulders. Excruciating pain just flinching or moving quickly. I couldn’t move my arms from my side for a year. Two years later and they are better but I still have no mobility and my shoulder blade doesn’t rotate. This poor man!
Aww So sorry you had frozen shoulder too! This is so painful. Thanks for sharing Nancy.
I know.... I had shoulder repair for right shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
2. Right shoulder arthroscopy with extensive debridement.
3. Right shoulder open subpectoral biceps tenodesis. Surgery was in April and still in PT. Just cannot get the shoulder to raise up without passive assist as well as getting the shoulder and arm to lay flat when laying on back. Dr. mentioned he could fix this by doing a capsule release of the scar tissue, but the scar tissue is still not mature enough and if he did the capsule now, it would immediately go back to the way it is now. He recommends waiting a bit longer until the scar tissue matures.
Is this a common problem with shoulder surgery repairs?
I see my Chiropractor as well and we just can’t seem to get the mobility back .
Difficult to say! Each case has its own process! some develop such problems others not, I‘m sorry to hear about your case. Must have been very painful. I wish you good luck on your journey Colleen.
Good job Doug lots of love from Sri Lanka small island nation in Asia
Thank you mafasmafas greetings back to Sri Lanka from NYC.
An added combo with PRP would be helpful
I kept wanting to remind him to breathe through it, don't hold your breath😂
I had this exactly some months ago and Theragun pro (forget all these other massage guns) did miracles in my life. It literally helped shift something there and I felt the move. In addition, Thai massage (she was brutal but saved me from the pain) worked alongside
Those 2 things gave me my arm/shoulder back. 95% gone now and my case was worse than the one you see in this video.
I’ve had frozen shoulder and having the chiropractor work on it felt good in the worst way… or horrible in the best way😂😂😂
A few nights ago I unexpectedly popped my right (I think) AC joint in a loud and briefly painful way, and I think it might have been an adhesion or fixation I've had since an injury in 2008 after which I had (probably) frozen shoulder that I think never really got better (until now), just worked around. The whole right side of my body has felt much freer since then and lots of other problem areas are shifting and feeling different from how they have for a long time, especially my right upper thoracic area and right atlas. It's amazing what a difference one shoulder joint can make on the whole surrounding spine.
That‘s so true! It‘s a chain, often when the atlas is misaligned it can affect the the whole chain! So sorry to hear Pfhorrest!
I hope he can continue treatment and get better but by bit. I had this as well, not as bad. My cousin a rhumatoid arthritis doctor put me at about 25% movement and then i "cheated" and started to use other muscles to get my arm up and then it to peaked. I had work similar to this done, though she recommended cortisone shots. I didnt want shots. I had to break up scar tissue and loosen muscles. O e thing that also helped is i used EMS/TENS machine. I'd get hooked up and then go through various motions and exercises with it zapping. It seemed to reduce my amount of pain so i could move through the movement bette. I guess it intercepts the pain thing to your brain. Anyway, i have most my movement back. Took like a year.
I hope he can keep getting help and work through because that is really painful and limiting in everyday to be in pain and not be able.to.move
Get well soon Bill hope you feel better 🙏🙏🙏💝😢😢😢
Hope that too, thanks you for your good wishes Brittany!
Do you think he will return for more treatment in future
I Hope so…I think so 😀🙏🏻
Same here, same side. Bursitis on opposite arm. 59 and walk 4 miles a day but upper body is frozen. PT not helping much. Chiro helps some. Cant do my yoga.
Sorry to hear, I’d say yoga and Chiro is a good combination! Good luck!
I have that exact same issue. 20+ years, PT, chiropractors, still frozen shoulder! 🤕
So what would you do now?
You should list all the providers you’ve trained so
People could seek them out for treatment.
This was good!
Did he ever come back Doc?
Unfortunately not!
Definitly not a one day threatment. But you saw good progress. And most of all let him realise chiropractic care is a good way to improve
I thought Bill was Billy Joel!! 😂
☺️
So are you mainly releasing tension in the muscle. Like loosening a knot. Just trying to figure out what your doing when your shoving your thumb in his arm pit and in the chest area.
I had frozen shoulder. I put off going to the doctor for 2 years because I thought I needed rotator cuff surgery. Couple months of physical therapy I was back to normal.
Great! Glad for that!
I’ve watched this episode before but I just noticed how effectively the bar across his chest showed how uneven his shoulders were.
What's your thoughts on MUA for frozen shoulder?
Can say so much about it, I don’t do anaesthesia in my practice.
I have arthritis in my right shoulder, but I think it was caused when I hit the floor after my first stroke
I manage to work and some days it’s hell but I work through it
He looks like he wants to smack you Doc! 😂
The way the left side is so much bigger than the other, I know he's about to be in pain. I feel bad for the amount of enjoyment I'm about to get.
