KST A to Z
Shoulder, frozen arm
Wilma Ireland, DC
Stonewall, Canada
A 92-year-old woman comes in unable to lift her arm. She is only able to abduct her arm about 15 degrees. She can bend at the elbow but has virtually no motion in her shoulder. She was told she had a lot of arthritis. She has had 4 cortisone shots with no improvement.
She has had the problem for approximately 10 years.
It was shortly after I had started doing KST. I adjusted her only twice: clavicle, scapula, T1, T3, radius, T6, anterior humerus.
Two days later I see her coming into the office and she shoots her arm up into the air and waves at me from down the hall: "Thanks Honey! It feels great!"
