Specialist diagnosis and treatment for frozen shoulder, helping relieve pain and restore shoulder movement.

Frozen shoulder — also known as adhesive capsulitis — is a condition that causes stiffness, pain and reduced movement in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually, often without an obvious injury, and can make everyday activities such as reaching, dressing or lifting uncomfortable and difficult.

Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become thickened and tight, restricting movement and causing pain with motion. At The Coriel Clinic, our consultant-led specialists provide expert assessment and tailored treatment plans to help reduce pain, improve mobility and support a safe and effective recovery.

What Are the Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder?

Symptoms of frozen shoulder generally progress through stages and can include:

  • Gradual onset of shoulder pain, often worse with movement
  • Stiffness and limited range of motion in all directions
  • Difficulty performing everyday tasks, such as reaching behind your back or overhead.
  • Pain that may worsen at night or interfere with sleep.
  • Progressive restriction of movement over weeks or months

Symptoms usually develop slowly and can vary between individuals, often becoming more noticeable with time if left untreated.

What Treatments Are Available for Frozen Shoulder?

Treatment for frozen shoulder focuses on reducing pain, improving mobility and restoring function. At The Coriel Clinic, we provide personalised, consultant-led care with a range of options tailored to your symptoms and individual goals.

Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatments

Many patients benefit from non-surgical management, which may include:

  • Targeted physiotherapy and stretching programmes to improve flexibility and movement.
  • Activity modification to reduce pain-provoking movements.
  • Anti-inflammatory strategies to relieve discomfort.
  • Joint injections, such as corticosteroid injections, to reduce inflammation and ease symptoms.

These approaches aim to improve motion and reduce pain while gradually restoring shoulder function.

Advanced or Specialist Treatments

In some cases, when stiffness and pain are persistent despite conservative care, additional interventions such as image-guided injections or referral for specialist procedures may be considered. Your consultant will discuss all suitable options with you, including expected benefits, risks and recovery expectations.

At The Coriel Clinic, our goal is to support you through every stage of your shoulder recovery with expert guidance, personalised care and continuity throughout your treatment journey.
