Frozen Shoulder
Technically known as adhesive capsulitis, a frozen shoulder is a painful inflammatory condition limiting shoulder mobility. It is caused by adhesions in the joint capsule which prevent smooth movement and cause pain. It can be caused by trauma, long term inactivity, complications from tension in the neck and shoulders or from overuse of the arm. Treatment works best if the shoulder can be treated in the freezing stage rather than the frozen stage.
