Frozen shoulder treatment focuses on reducing pain and restoring range of motion, usually involving physical therapy, NSAIDs, and sometimes steroid injections or gentle manipulation. While recovery can take 1–3 years, most cases improve with conservative care, including home exercises like pendulum stretches and finger walks.Common Treatment OptionsPhysical Therapy: The primary treatment, involving exercises to improve mobility.Medications: Over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen (Aleve) reduce pain and inflammation.Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid shots into the shoulder joint can relieve pain and improve movement, particularly in the early (freezing) stage.Hydrodilatation: A procedure where sterile water is injected into the joint capsule to expand it, often combined with a steroid shot.Manipulation under Anesthesia: A doctor moves the shoulder while the patient is asleep to break up scar tissue.Surgery (Arthroscopy): Rarely, surgery is used to remove scar tissue (capsular release) if other methods fail.
