Shoulder Injuries and Disorders- Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder or the technical name Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder, mostly seen in middle aged women and diabetics, causes global loss of shoulder movements in all directions.
Usually a self limiting disease, but the prolonged disease course causes much disability.
Early cases should be managed by a course of physiotherapy.
In non- responding patients, manipulation under anesthesia after injecting and inflating the shoulder joint capsule with saline is an alternative.
Prolonged supervised physiotherapy is almost always necessary.
