Adhesive capsulitis, sometimes referred to as "frozen shoulder," is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in the shoulder. It can be very painful and can interfere with everyday activities. The good news is that it usually goes away on its own, though it can take up to two years.

What Causes Adhesive Capsulitis?

Adhesive capsulitis is caused by inflammation and scarring of the shoulder joint’s capsule. The exact cause of this condition is not known, but some factors are thought to be involved, such as an injury to the shoulder, prolonged immobilization of the shoulder, or a medical condition, such as diabetes or a thyroid disorder.

How Is Adhesive Capsulitis Diagnosed?

Adhesive capsulitis is usually diagnosed by a physical exam. Your doctor will look for signs of pain and stiffness in the shoulder and may order X-rays or an MRI to confirm the diagnosis.

How Is Adhesive Capsulitis Treated?

Treatment for adhesive capsulitis typically includes physical therapy, medications for pain relief, and possibly steroid injections. In some cases, surgery may be required to help relieve pain and restore range of motion.

Will Adhesive Capsulitis Go Away?

Adhesive capsulitis usually resolves without treatment, though it can take up to two years. It is important to talk to your doctor about any pain or stiffness you are experiencing in your shoulder, as well as any other symptoms you have. Your doctor can help you determine the best course of treatment for you.

Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition which causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder. While the exact cause of this condition is unknown, it usually resolves on its own over time. Treatment options such as physical therapy, steroid injections, and surgery can help to reduce pain and increase mobility. However, it can take upwards of one year for the condition to fully resolve. In the meantime, the affected individual should focus on maintaining good posture and performing gentle stretches to keep the shoulder as flexible as possible.

Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as "frozen shoulder," is a condition that can cause pain and loss of movement in the shoulder joint. The good news is that in most cases, the condition will gradually improve over time. The exact amount of time needed for full recovery varies from person to person, but typically it takes anywhere from 9 to 18 months. During this time, it is important to continue to perform physical therapy and shoulder exercises, as this can help speed up the recovery process. It is also important to avoid activities that could cause further strain or damage to the shoulder.

Question: Will adhesive capsulitis go away on its own?

The short answer is that it depends. Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition in which the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful due to the capsule around it becoming inflamed and thickened. In some cases, the symptoms may improve on their own with rest and gentle stretching exercises. However, in many cases, physical therapy, medications, and even surgery may be necessary to restore range of motion and reduce pain. So, while it is possible for adhesive capsulitis to go away on its own, it's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
