Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Treatment
Physical Therapy for Frozen Shoulder in Brooklyn
What is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where your shoulder becomes progressively stiff and painful, making it difficult to move in any direction.
It typically develops in three stages: freezing (increasing pain and stiffness), frozen (severe stiffness but less pain), and thawing (gradual improvement). While it can last 1-3 years without treatment, physical therapy can significantly speed up recovery and reduce pain.
Symptoms & Treatment
Common symptoms include: Severe shoulder stiffness that limits movement in all directions, dull or aching pain in the outer shoulder, difficulty reaching behind your back or overhead, and night pain that disrupts sleep.
Our treatment approach: We use gentle manual therapy to restore mobility, stretching exercises to improve range of motion, and pain management techniques. Treatment is tailored to which stage you're in—early intervention during the freezing stage can prevent severe stiffness. Most patients see gradual improvement over 6-12 months with consistent therapy, though full recovery may take longer.
