Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder)

Diagnosis:

Frozen shoulder, also referred to as adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral joint becomes swollen and stiff.  This inflammation restricts mobility and can result in chronic pain.  This pain is often worse at night and when the weather is cold.  This injury can often occur as a result of a minor injury or without any warning.  Recovery from this condition is slow and can be frustrating.
