Treatment

Frozen Shoulder


Frozen shoulder is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and restricted movement in the shoulder joint. Everyday activities such as dressing, reaching overhead or sleeping comfortably may become difficult. Acupuncture may help relieve discomfort, improve mobility and support your body's natural recovery throughout each stage of frozen shoulder.
