What Is Frozen Shoulder?

 

Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes thickened and inflamed, leading to stiffness, pain, and restricted movement. The condition typically develops in three stages:

​

1. Freezing Stage – Increasing pain and stiffness limit shoulder movement.

2. Frozen Stage – Pain may lessen, but stiffness worsens, significantly restricting motion.

3. Thawing Stage – Gradual improvement in mobility and a reduction in stiffness.

 

Frozen shoulder can develop due to prolonged immobility after an injury, surgery, or underlying conditions such as diabetes.
