Surgery for Frozen Shoulder

Surgery is often the last option when other treatment options don’t work. The main goal is to manipulate your shoulder by putting it through a wide range of movements under an anesthetic to break up adhesions. Also, your doctor might make a small cut and use an arthroscope to release scar tissue. It often takes a few weeks to a few months to recover from surgery. Keep in mind that this option has a few risks. Thus, make sure to consult your doctor carefully before starting. [7]
