Restore movement in a stiff, painful frozen shoulder.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) causes the shoulder to become progressively stiff and painful, often for no obvious reason. The good news: with the right, staged treatment most people regain full movement. Our team uses manual therapy, dry needling, exercise therapy and Ayurvedic pain management tailored to each phase.
It is more common between ages 40 and 60 and in people with diabetes or thyroid conditions.
Left alone it can last well over a year through its phases. Active treatment reduces pain sooner and speeds the return of movement.
Yes — guided, phase-appropriate exercise is one of the most effective treatments. The intensity is matched to your stage so it helps rather than flares the shoulder.
Only for the small minority whose shoulder remains severely restricted after 6–12 months of properly staged conservative care. Options then include hydrodilatation, manipulation under anaesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release — all followed by the same rehabilitation the condition needed anyway. The great majority of frozen shoulders resolve without any procedure, which is why patient, phase-matched treatment comes first.
