Frozen Shoulder

Even after graduating from chiro. school, and seeing hundreds of patients over ten years, frozen shoulder still mystifies me as far as the best treatment options. It seems to be an inflammation of the entire capsule of the shoulder joint complex, rather than a specific muscle/tendon/joint/ligament.

The usual approach, stretching, anti-inflammation procedures, exercise, and trigger point therapy, are often totally ineffective.
