Dr. Zach Vandenberg, at Excel Physical Therapy Oshkosh, discusses frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) a common source of shoulder tightness and pain. A frozen shoulder can begin after a surgery or injury but can also occur for no clear reason but some individuals are at higher risk for developing this problem. It can result in severe pain with progression into tightness and significant loss of shoulder motion, making even simple activities difficult. Future videos cover simple tests that you can do to help determine if you have this shoulder problem.
