Frozen Shoulder Recovery
Stiffness, pain, and restricted motion in the shoulder joint, medically known as adhesive capsulitis.
Condition Overview
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. Symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one to three years if left untreated.
Why It Happens
The bones, ligaments and tendons that make up your shoulder joint are encased in a capsule of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and tightens around the shoulder joint, restricting its movement.
Common Symptoms
- Severe pain in the shoulder joint, especially at night
- Inability to lift the arm overhead or reach behind the back
- Stiffness that makes it hard to dress, bathe, or drive
- A dull ache in the shoulder muscles
Root Causes
- Prolonged immobilization of the shoulder after injury or surgery
- Systemic diseases like diabetes or thyroid disorders
- Inflammation of the shoulder joint capsule
Our Treatment Process

Passive stretching and manual therapy to increase range of motion
Therapeutic ultrasound or heat therapy to relax the joint capsule
Customized shoulder exercises and assisted yoga stretches
Expected Outcomes
Patients see an average of 40% to 60% range-of-motion improvement in the first 2 weeks, with full function returning as the joint capsule relaxes.
