FAQ
Do I need MRI for frozen shoulder?
MRI is not always necessary. We start with a clinical exam and X-ray, and order MRI only if needed.
How long does frozen shoulder last?
It typically improves over months with the right treatment and rehab plan.
Can frozen shoulder improve without surgery?
Many patients improve without surgery using stage-wise pain control, guided stretching, and follow-up. Injection may be discussed if pain is blocking sleep or physiotherapy.
Does physiotherapy help frozen shoulder?
Yes, when it is matched to the stage. Structured, stage-based therapy helps restore motion after the diagnosis is confirmed and pain is controlled enough for safe movement.
When is surgery needed for frozen shoulder?
Surgery is considered only for selected severe cases where pain and stiffness persist despite a proper diagnosis-led non-surgical plan.
Can frozen shoulder come back?
It can recur, especially in patients with diabetes, thyroid problems, or another shoulder condition. Maintaining mobility and strength lowers the chance of repeated stiffness.
How soon can I return to daily activities?
Basic tasks usually improve gradually as pain settles and movement returns. Timelines vary with the stage, diabetes control, sleep pain, and how stiff the shoulder is at presentation.
