Excerpt

Among the nonlethal orthopaedic diagnoses, adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) must be among the most frustrating. The natural history of this condition runs a painful, functionally limiting, and long course [10]. The therapy for it can be just as painful and certainly is time-consuming [1]. Manipulation under anesthesia and arthroscopic surgery are last resorts because the condition often resolves on its own [6], there is little comparative evidence of the efficacy of those interventions [9], and they can be associated with serious complications [7]. Many patients endure the pain and stiffness associated with this condition for more than 1 year; 2 years is not at all uncommon [10]. …
