What is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a common cause of shoulder pain and stiffness, most often in middle-aged people (40 to 60 years). It is more frequent in patients with diabetes, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease, and after trauma, stroke or surgery. The capsule around the shoulder joint thickens and tightens, restricting movement.
The condition usually passes through three overlapping phases, pain, stiffness, and resolution. At our clinic we classify it as pain-predominant or stiffness-predominant and tailor treatment accordingly, which speeds up recovery.
Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder
Pain that spreads down the arm and disturbs sleep; difficulty lying on the affected side.
Slowly worsening difficulty with overhead movements like combing hair.
Trouble scratching the back or fastening clothing behind you.
Reduced shoulder rotation and elevation that limits daily activities.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Diagnosis is mainly clinical, an X-ray is not routinely required. Most patients improve with a structured, conservative programme. Dr. Jitesh tailors treatment to your phase:
- Gentle stretching and range-of-motion exercises (gentle is better than intensive)
- Electrotherapy (TENS), and deep heating combined with stretching
- Medication for pain and inflammation; a corticosteroid injection in selected cases
- A guided home programme, see the full frozen shoulder exercises guide
- For resistant cases: arthroscopic capsular release and manipulation under anaesthesia
Arthroscopic capsular release is a keyhole procedure that releases the tight capsule, restoring movement quickly when conservative care has failed after a fair trial.

FAQs: Frozen Shoulder Treatment in Jaipur
What is frozen shoulder?
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is gradual stiffness and pain of the shoulder, common between 40 and 60 years and more likely with diabetes or thyroid disease. It makes overhead movements, combing hair and reaching the back difficult.
How long does frozen shoulder take to recover?
It usually requires 4 to 6 months of supervised, dedicated treatment with exercises, stretching and electrotherapy. Some patients have a longer course, which a tailored programme helps shorten.
What is the most effective treatment for frozen shoulder?
Stretching and range-of-motion exercises, electrotherapy and a corticosteroid injection are moderately effective. Resistant cases are treated with arthroscopic capsular release and manipulation under anaesthesia after a fair conservative trial.
Can I use my arm during treatment?
Yes, within the limits of pain. Avoid rapid, aggressive movements as they can increase spasm and pain. Gentle, regular exercise is better than intensive effort.
What is arthroscopic capsular release?
A keyhole (arthroscopic) procedure that releases the tight, thickened joint capsule, combined with gentle manipulation, to quickly restore shoulder movement when conservative care has not worked.
Is frozen shoulder treatment covered by insurance?
Yes, surgical treatment such as arthroscopic capsular release is available cashless on all major insurance providers at Rajasthan Hospital, with help on the paperwork.
