What is Frozen Shoulder? Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a condition which affects the ability to move the shoulder usually only occurring on one side. Sometimes the problem can spread to the other shoulder (approximately 1 person in 5). The medical term adhesive capsulitis literally describes the condition where adhesive means sticky and capsulitis meaning inflammation of the joint capsule. It is thought that a lot of the symptoms are due to the capsule becoming inflamed and sticking, making the whole joint stiff and difficult to move. This is not the same as arthritis, and no other joints are usually affected.
