What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition in which the shoulder joint becomes stiff, painful, and difficult to move. It develops gradually and can significantly limit daily activities such as lifting the arm, dressing, or reaching overhead.
All About Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder often develops due to prolonged shoulder immobility after injury, surgery, or fracture. It is also more common in people with diabetes, thyroid disorders, or after long periods of inactivity.
Common symptoms include persistent shoulder pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, difficulty raising or rotating the arm, and pain that may worsen at night.
Treatment focuses on reducing pain and gradually restoring shoulder movement. Most cases improve with non-surgical treatment, while advanced cases may require medical procedures.
