Understanding Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
Adhesive Capsulitis, commonly known as Frozen Shoulder, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually, worsens over time, and then slowly improves — but this cycle can take months or even years.
At Richardson Pain Solutions, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Frozen Shoulder with individualized care. Our goal is to reduce your discomfort, restore your mobility, and help you return to everyday activities with greater ease.
If you’re experiencing persistent shoulder pain or stiffness, don’t wait to get help. Contact Richardson Pain Solutions to explore treatments designed to relieve Frozen Shoulder symptoms and improve joint function.
Common Symptoms
Frozen Shoulder typically progresses through three phases, each with its own symptoms:
- Freezing stage: Shoulder becomes increasingly painful and movement becomes limited.
- Frozen stage: Pain may lessen, but stiffness worsens and mobility becomes more restricted.
- Thawing stage: Range of motion gradually begins to improve.
You may also notice:
- Difficulty lifting your arm
- Pain that worsens at night
- Inability to perform routine tasks like reaching overhead or behind your back

FAQ's
Frozen Shoulder causes shoulder pain, stiffness, and a gradual loss of motion that can interfere with daily activities.
The exact cause isn’t always clear, but it can be linked to shoulder injuries, surgery, or conditions like diabetes. It occurs when the shoulder joint capsule thickens and tightens, restricting movement.
Treatments may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, or regenerative therapies. In some cases, minimally invasive procedures may be recommended like ACE.
