Frozen Shoulder: What is it and How to Treat it?
Firstly, a frozen shoulder is a painful problem that affects your shoulder joint and makes it hard to move your arm. If proper treatment is not taken, it can last for several months and can take up to two years to fully resolve. THE TREATMENT: It usually takes 3 stages to get better.
