What Is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and progressive loss of shoulder movement. It occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, thickened, and tightened.

Frozen shoulder typically develops gradually and progresses through different stages. Many individuals experience increasing pain followed by significant stiffness and reduced range of motion.

Without proper treatment, symptoms can last for months or even years and may significantly affect quality of life.
