Frozen shoulder or Adhesive capsulitis is a condition resulting in stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. The bones of our shoulder joint is covered with a joint capsule. In frozen shoulder, this joint capsule around the shoulder joint thickens, tightens and hold the joint from easy movements. Frozen shoulder usually starts with a sprain or strain of your shoulder joint
may extend upto 9 months – pain is felt with a shoulder movement associated with limited range of movements.
may persist for 1 year – shoulder joint becomes stiffer in this stage, however, pain reduces in this stage.
upto 2 years – shoulder movements slowly improves in this stage.
Long-term immobilization of the shoulder joint as in fractures of the arm, injury of rotator-cuff, stroke, immobilization after a surgical procedure can also result in frozen shoulder.
