Capsular Release for Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, limiting its range of motion. This can significantly affect daily activities like reaching, lifting, or even dressing.

The condition occurs when the shoulder capsule, which surrounds the shoulder joint, becomes inflamed and thickened. Over time, this leads to the loss of flexibility, making movements increasingly difficult. In some cases, conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication do not provide sufficient relief, leading to the need for surgical intervention.
