What Frozen Shoulder usually looks like

Frozen shoulder moves through a painful phase into a stiff phase where external rotation and reaching up the back disappear. Forcing range too early usually flares it.

How a visit for Frozen Shoulder is different

Treatment matches the stage: pain control and gentle motion first, then progressive mobilization and exercise once irritability allows. We tell you which phase you are in so the plan does not jump ahead.
