If physical therapy & mulipulation did not help my frozen shoulder, what is the next ste?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Frozen shoulder: If physical therapy did not solve the problem adequately then surgical intervention is often needed. While manipulation under anesthesia can be helpful, a more aggressive arthroscopic release of adhesions/capsular release can also be necessary. Talk with your doctor regarding further recommendations.
