Can frozen shoulder be cured? How long does it take?

Frozen shoulder can be cured, but the time required varies from person to person, usually taking several months to a year. Frozen shoulder, also known as "frozen shoulder", is common in middle-aged and elderly people and is characterized by pain and limited movement of the shoulder joint. Usually, the development of frozen shoulder is divided into three stages: the first stage is the "pain stage", when the shoulder joint gradually becomes painful and limited in movement; the second stage is the "frozen stage", when shoulder movement becomes more difficult, but the pain may be relieved; the third stage is the "recovery stage", when the range of motion of the shoulder gradually recovers.

When treating frozen shoulder, pain management is key, and physical therapy, medication, and moderate shoulder exercises are generally used. Physical therapy includes heat and ultrasound therapy, which helps promote blood circulation and relieve muscle stiffness; medications usually include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can relieve pain and inflammation; shoulder rehabilitation exercises, such as continuously updated shoulder circle exercises and stretching exercises, help restore range of motion. These measures usually need to be performed under the guidance of a doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.

In daily life, be careful to avoid overuse of the shoulder joint. Moderate exercise can maintain shoulder flexibility and prevent recurrence of frozen shoulder. Pay attention to your sitting and standing posture to reduce the burden on your shoulders. If shoulder pain persists or new symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time to obtain professional diagnosis and treatment plans. With early intervention, frozen shoulder has a better rehabilitation effect, but the recovery time and effect vary from individual to individual. Maintaining a positive attitude will help the treatment process.
