A member asked:

What's the treatment 4 frozen shoulder if i can't have cortisone or anti inflammatory meds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Physical therapy and an exercise program should be tried initially. If all conservative therapy fails then manipulation under anesthesia may be an option.
