Frozen shoulder can be a debilitating illness. For patients suffering from this problem, physical therapy is absolutely vital in order to regain the function and use of the limb. Most often pain is the restricting factor in this problem. When shoulder pain restricts or limits therapy, a suprascapular nerve block can be performed to provide some pain relief of the shoulder capsule thereby allowing your therapist/doctor to mobilize the joint. These injections are performed in the office and are often quick and relatively painless to have administered.
