What Is Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)?

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed and stiff, leading to restricted movement.

Over time, the joint capsule thickens and tightens, limiting the shoulder’s range of motion.

Frozen shoulder typically develops in three stages:

Freezing Stage

Increasing pain
Gradual loss of motion

Frozen Stage

Stiffness with reduced pain
Significant limitation in movement

Thawing Stage

Gradual return of mobility
Decreasing stiffness
