What Is Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)?
Frozen shoulder is a progressive condition where the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, thickened, and tight. This severely limits movement and can cause intense pain, particularly at night.
It typically develops slowly and progresses through three distinct stages:
The Three Stages of Frozen Shoulder
- Freezing Phase: Increasing pain and growing stiffness
- Frozen Phase: Pain may lessen, but movement becomes extremely restricted
- Thawing Phase: Gradual return of movement as stiffness subsides
Without treatment, frozen shoulder may take 1 to 3 years to resolve naturally.
Common Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder
Persistent dull or aching pain, especially at night
Difficulty lifting your arm or reaching behind your back
Shoulder stiffness that worsens over time
Loss of shoulder strength and mobility
Impact on sleep and daily activities, such as dressing or driving
What Causes Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder can occur without a clear trigger, but common causes and risk factors include:
- Post-surgical immobility or shoulder injury
- Diabetes and thyroid conditions
- Autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
- Heart disease or stroke
- Long periods of shoulder inactivity
Early intervention is key to preventing long-term restriction.
