ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS/CAPSULOSIS FROZEN SHOULDER

Many of us take for granted having a full range of motion in our shoulder. Not having the ability to move our arm in all directions can lead to a loss of being able to perform daily activities.

A frozen shoulder is a shoulder joint with significant loss of its range of motion in all directions. Long-term immobility of the shoulder joint can put people at risk to develop a frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is the result of inflammation, scarring, thickening, and shrinkage of the capsule that surrounds the normal shoulder joint.
