When your patient has a frozen shoulder, or another type of stiff and painful shoulder, you’re in for a challenge. How do you know if your patient has a frozen shoulder or something else like osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis? You’re going to have a hard time getting your patients muscle system to do its job in the presence of stiffness.
