Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and restricted movement of the shoulder joint. It develops gradually and can significantly limit daily activities such as lifting, dressing, or reaching overhead. The condition typically progresses through stages and may take several months to recover. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help reduce pain, restore mobility, and speed up recovery.
Frozen shoulder progresses through distinct stages.
Freezing Stage: Gradual onset of shoulder pain with increasing stiffness.
Frozen Stage: Pain may reduce, but shoulder movement becomes severely limited.
Thawing Stage: Gradual improvement in shoulder mobility and reduction in stiffness.
Symptoms worsen over time and affect shoulder movement.
Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Difficulty lifting or rotating the arm
Pain during daily activities
Muscle weakness due to limited use
Frozen shoulder often develops due to injury, medical conditions, or prolonged immobility.
Shoulder injury or surgery
Prolonged shoulder immobilization
Diabetes or thyroid disorders
Inflammation of shoulder joint capsule
Age-related changes

Treatment for frozen shoulder focuses on reducing pain, improving flexibility, and restoring normal shoulder movement. Management may include pain-relief medications, physiotherapy, stretching exercises, and lifestyle modifications. Early intervention and regular rehabilitation play a key role in speeding up recovery and preventing long-term stiffness.
Frozen shoulder can last from several months to over a year, depending on treatment.
Yes, with proper treatment and physiotherapy, most patients recover fully.
People with diabetes, thyroid disorders, or prolonged shoulder immobility are at higher risk.
Yes, physiotherapy is essential to restore movement and prevent stiffness.
