Frozen Shoulder Treatment

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder. Treatment typically begins with physical therapy to improve movement and reduce pain. Medications like anti-inflammatories may help manage discomfort. In some cases, corticosteroid injections are given to reduce inflammation. If these methods are ineffective, more advanced options like manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic surgery can be performed to release the tight capsule around the shoulder. Recovery involves continued rehabilitation to regain full function, and most patients experience significant improvement over time.
