Treating Frozen Shoulder: Medical Treatment

To treat a frozen shoulder, stretches are tried first. If stretches alone don’t help, your healthcare provider may suggest adding other treatments. Keep in mind that no treatment replaces shoulder stretches. After any of these treatments, you’ll need to start your exercises again as your healthcare provider advises.
