What is the first line of treatment for adhesive capsulitis – the so-called frozen shoulder?

The correct answer is C. In order to preserve the mobility of the shoulder a combination of physical therapy, intra-articular steroids, and NSAIDs has shown the best results as an initial treatment. In some cases, surgery could be indicated at a later stage if the mobility does not improve. Over time, symptoms get better, usually within 1 to 3 years. Shoulder orthosis would additionally limit the mobility of the shoulder.
