In anatomy, capsulitis is inflammation of a capsule.[1]

Types include:

Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder

Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, also known as frozen shoulder, commonly causes shoulder pain and stiffness.[2] These sensations can be very painful and may last up to two or three years.[2]

Treatment

Manual therapy and exercise

Manual therapy involves the movement of joints and other structures by a healthcare professional such as a physiotherapist.[2] Exercise is the movement of joints and purposeful muscle contraction.[2] Both manual therapy and exercise are used to attempt to relieve pain and soreness and increase joint range and function.[2] There is moderate quality evidence that manual therapy and exercise may help significantly decrease pain in patients with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder.[2] However the study also indicates that glucocorticoid (a type of anti-inflammatory) injections were more effective.[2]
