Frozen Shoulder

📋Overview

Also referred to medically as adhesive capsulitis, this condition involves the thickening and tightening of the connective tissue capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. This process typically results in a progressive restriction of both active and passive range of motion.

The onset of symptoms often occurs gradually, with the joint capsule becoming inflamed and less flexible over time. While the exact underlying cause may not always be identified, the condition is recognized by its distinct pattern of increasing physical limitation in the affected shoulder.
