Frozen Shoulder Relief with the OTZ Technique
If you're struggling with frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, you know how frustrating and painful it can be to lose movement in your shoulder — even simple tasks like getting dressed or reaching overhead can become difficult.
At Care Chiropractic, we offer a specialized technique called the OTZ Method to help restore shoulder movement and relieve pain — naturally and effectively.
What Is the OTZ Technique?
The OTZ (One-To-Zero) Technique is a chiropractic method focused on improving the way your nervous system communicates with your shoulder muscles. It works by gently adjusting the top bones of your spine — right where your head and neck meet — an area known to impact shoulder mobility.
How It Helps
When the top of your spine (the occiput and atlas) is misaligned, it can interfere with the vagus nerve, which plays a big role in muscle control and inflammation. By correcting this area, the OTZ technique can:
- Restore normal movement to the shoulder
- Reduce pain and stiffness
- Help your body heal naturally without drugs or surgery
What to Expect
- We begin with a full shoulder and spine evaluation
- A precise, gentle adjustment is made to the upper neck
- Many patients notice improved shoulder movement almost immediately
- We guide you through simple follow-up exercises to support long-term results
Who Can Benefit?
The OTZ Technique is especially helpful for patients with:
- Frozen shoulder that came on gradually (not from an injury)
- Loss of shoulder motion without a clear cause
- Neurological symptoms or stiffness that hasn’t improved with other treatments
Get Back to Moving Again
If frozen shoulder is holding you back, there’s hope. The OTZ Technique is a safe, gentle, and drug-free way to help your shoulder heal — by improving how your body and brain work together.
