Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, leading to limited range of motion. It typically develops gradually and may be associated with shoulder injury, surgery, or conditions like diabetes or stroke. Treatment for frozen shoulder often includes physical therapy, stretching exercises, and anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, corticosteroid injections or manipulation under anesthesia may be recommended to help improve shoulder mobility. Patience and consistent rehabilitation are key in managing and resolving frozen shoulder.
