Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Diagnosis & Treatment

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a painful condition characterized by inflammation and stiffening of the shoulder joint capsule, significantly limiting mobility and causing chronic pain. The condition typically progresses through three stages: freezing (increasing pain), frozen (pain decreases but stiffness remains), and thawing (gradual recovery of mobility).

Why Does Frozen Shoulder Develop?

• Immobilization after injury or surgery
• Rotator cuff injury or inflammation
• Diabetes and metabolic disorders
• Prolonged overhead work
• Age (more common after 40)
• Sedentary lifestyle

Symptoms We Treat:

• Progressive shoulder pain and stiffness
• Inability to lift arm or reach overhead
• Difficulty sleeping on affected side
• Restricted range of motion
• Weakness in shoulder movements
