Frozen shoulder, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, is a painful and disabling condition that significantly restricts shoulder movement. It commonly affects people between the ages of 40 and 65 and can interfere with simple daily activities such as dressing, lifting objects, or even sleeping comfortably. If you are searching for the best frozen shoulder treatment in Bangalore, Dr. Abhinandan Punit is widely trusted for accurate diagnosis, personalized care, and long-term relief.
What Is Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder joint becomes inflamed, thickened, and stiff. This leads to progressive pain and severe restriction of movement. The condition usually develops gradually and passes through three stages:
-
Freezing Stage – Increasing pain and stiffness
-
Frozen Stage – Reduced pain but severe limitation of movement
-
Thawing Stage – Gradual improvement in mobility
Without proper treatment, frozen shoulder can take 1–3 years to resolve, severely affecting quality of life.
Common Causes of Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder can occur without a clear cause, but certain risk factors increase the chances of developing it, including:
-
Diabetes
-
Thyroid disorders
-
Prolonged shoulder immobilization
-
Shoulder injuries or surgery
-
Poor posture and repetitive strain
-
Age-related degeneration
Early evaluation by a shoulder specialist helps prevent long-term stiffness and complications.

Symptoms That Require Immediate Attention
You should consult Dr. Abhinandan Punit if you experience:
-
Persistent shoulder pain for more than 2–3 weeks
-
Difficulty lifting your arm overhead or behind your back
-
Shoulder stiffness worsening over time
-
Pain that disturbs sleep
-
Limited range of motion affecting daily activities
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to prolonged recovery and chronic stiffness.
Advanced Diagnosis of Frozen Shoulder
Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment. Dr. Abhinandan Punit uses a comprehensive diagnostic approach that includes:
-
Detailed clinical examination
-
Range of motion assessment
-
X-rays to rule out arthritis or fractures
-
MRI or ultrasound if required
This ensures frozen shoulder is correctly differentiated from rotator cuff tears or other shoulder disorders.
Non-Surgical Frozen Shoulder Treatment
Most frozen shoulder cases can be successfully treated without surgery. Dr. Abhinandan Punit prioritizes conservative management, especially in the early and middle stages.
1. Pain Management
Anti-inflammatory medications help reduce pain and swelling, allowing better participation in physiotherapy.
2. Physiotherapy & Shoulder Exercises
Customized physiotherapy programs focus on:
-
Stretching exercises
-
Joint mobilization
-
Gradual strengthening
These exercises are adjusted according to pain tolerance and stage of the condition.
3. Corticosteroid Injections
In selected cases, shoulder joint injections help reduce inflammation and pain, accelerating recovery and improving mobility.
4. Posture & Lifestyle Correction
Patients receive guidance on posture, sleeping positions, and daily activities to prevent worsening stiffness.
Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatments
When conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, Dr. Abhinandan Punit may recommend advanced procedures such as:
Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)
The shoulder is gently mobilized under anesthesia to break adhesions and restore movement.
Arthroscopic Capsular Release
A minimally invasive procedure where tight shoulder capsule tissues are released using arthroscopy. This option provides rapid pain relief and improved mobility in resistant cases.
Both procedures are safe, effective, and followed by structured rehabilitation.
Post-Treatment Rehabilitation & Recovery
Successful frozen shoulder treatment does not end with pain relief—it requires proper rehabilitation. Dr. Abhinandan Punit ensures:
-
Supervised physiotherapy programs
-
Regular progress monitoring
-
Gradual return to daily activities
-
Prevention of recurrence
Most patients experience significant improvement in shoulder movement within weeks when treatment is followed correctly.
