Causes & Risk Factors:

While the exact cause isn’t always clear, frozen shoulder commonly develops due to:

  • Prolonged Immobility: Lack of shoulder movement after surgery, injury, or illness
  • Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can lead to thickening of the shoulder capsule
  • Medical Conditions: Diabetes, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular diseases increase the risk
  • Age & Gender: More common in individuals aged 40–60, particularly women

 

What Happens If Left Untreated? Without proper intervention, frozen shoulder can take months or even years to resolve on its own. Persistent stiffness can lead to muscle weakening, decreased functionality, and prolonged discomfort that affects everyday activities like dressing, lifting objects, and even sleeping.
