Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
Definition
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the joint thickens and tightens, restricting its movement. The exact cause is often unknown, but it may be related to injury, diabetes, or other conditions, such as hypothyroidism, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease.
