What is a Frozen Shoulder?

Pain is intense but short lived when the shoulder is moved in a particular way. Patients will often have difficulty doing simple tasks such as getting dressed or just lifting their arms up.

The longer it is left without treatment the more restricted the movement.

What treatments are available for a frozen shoulder?

There are a number of treatment options from manipulation to injections and even surgery. One of the newest treatments available is shockwave therapy.
