Physical Therapy This is one of the most common treatments for a frozen shoulder.

The objective of physical therapy is to stretch your shoulder joint and improve the lost range of motion.

Medications Certainly, a frozen shoulder is extremely painful. Well, in order to reduce the joint inflammation and treat the pain, a doctor recommends medications such as ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or aspirin.

Sometimes a steroid injection is also recommended by doctors.

Home Care Well, home care is very important to treat any shoulder injury. Cold compression is the best technique that you can do to minimize the pain of your shoulder.

Apart from this, you can ask for some exercises from your physical therapist. Most of the patients improve their condition without any shoulder surgery.

Surgery If physical therapy and home remedies don’t improve your condition, then shoulder surgery is the only option.

Today, doctors recommend arthroscopic surgery. This surgery does not require much time to recover.
