If you have pain and limited movement in your shoulder, you may have a frozen shoulder. Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition can affect one or both of your shoulders. It’s more common in women than men and usually affects people between the ages of 40 and 60.
If your quality of life has been limited by shoulder pain, visit a doctor to discover the cause so that you can receive the correct treatment. A variety of conditions can cause shoulder pain, including shoulder tendinitis and shoulder bursitis. For an accurate diagnosis and the best-individualized treatment of shoulder pain in New York City or New Jersey, book an appointment with Dr. Amr Hosny and his talented team of spine doctors at the Spine & Rehab Group.
Adhesive capsulitis typically starts with shoulder pain and stiffness and progresses to a reduced range of motion. Some people experience increased pain during the night. Typically, there are three stages of this condition:
Each of these stages may last several months. Getting back to normal or close to normal can take from six months to two years, which is why you should opt to receive a firm diagnosis as soon as possible. Once your frozen shoulder has been identified, you can get effective treatment from a knowledgeable and resourceful spine doctor like Dr. Hosny.

David Chu, MD, FAAPMR Vivek Mehta, MD, FAAPMR Deepali Gupta, MD, DABA, DABPM A frozen shoulder develops when the capsule of connective tissue that surrounds the shoulder joint tightens and thickens. It’s unclear why this happens, but some risk factors have been identified that increase your risk of developing adhesive capsulitis. These risk factors include:
A frozen shoulder can sometimes be diagnosed from a physical exam alone or the exam may be combined with imaging tests, such as an MRI or x-ray. Two important tests help confirm the final diagnosis and severity of your condition:
During these tests, your spine doctor checks your level of pain and determines if your range of motion has become limited. If you have a frozen shoulder, your range of motion is limited both actively and passively.
Frozen shoulder may go away on its own, but it takes time and patience. The process may take a year or longer. Meanwhile, you’re stuck with limited shoulder flexibility, which degrades your quality of life. Adhesive capsulitis treatment aims to control the pain with interventional pain management techniques and restore motion as quickly as possible. Options for adhesive capsulitis treatment include:
If conservative frozen shoulder treatment methods don’t bring relief, your doctor may consider surgical frozen shoulder treatment as a last resort. This may include shoulder manipulation under general anesthesia or surgery to remove scar tissue from inside your shoulder joint.
The NJ spine and rehab group has offered highly personalized care in every way. The staff is amazing. This practice doesn’t ascribe to the typical assembly line approach. There are never more than two patients being treated at a time. The physical therapist and assistant know me by my name and engage me as a person not a 'frozen shoulder'.
Through out my physical therapy treatment my program has continually been reviewed and refreshed. This has encouraged me to work my program and recover quickly. The superior level of care and support that this practice offers is why I have recommended them to family and friends
My shoulder was painful and stiff, and I have lost my normal range of motion. There was just this tremendous pain and discomfort. I didn't like Dr. Hosny as much when I initially met him, and he suggested physical therapy. However, his professionalism and empathy won me over, and I decided to trust him. Ten weeks later, my shoulder has around 75% of its previous mobility. It still hasn't totally recovered. Still another five to six weeks.
