Frozen Shoulder Treatment

What's the best frozen shoulder treatment?

One of the problems with frozen shoulder is that there is no standard agreed treatment for it. Various approaches have been advocated and a search on the internet will reveal many options open to you. You should be aware that there are only a very few good research studies on the subject and even then - they only look at a few of the options available.

I intend to give you an overview of treatments based on my own extensive experience. Others may quibble with my suggestions but at the end of the day, I have no particular axe to grind - no "unique" treatment to sell or promote - only an interest in giving you the best and most comprehensive information available.

When assessing the claims of some available treatments - keep in mind that the natural tendency of the condition is to fully recover - even without any treatment whatsoever.

What can frozen shoulder treatment achieve?

Bearing in mind that frozen shoulder will nearly always fully recover on its own, the aim of treatment is either to relieve pain while nature gets on with resolving the underlying problem or to speed up the recovery process

Keep the above points in mind while you read the following pages and when you decide what treatment to choose for yourself.
