Suprascapular Nerve Block Followed by Codman s Manipulation and Home Exercises An Effective Combined Approach in the Rehabilitation of Idiopathic Frozen Shoulder : A Review

El-Badawy MA and Fathalla MM

Frozen shoulder is characterized by inflammation of the synovial lining and capsule, with subsequent generalized contracture of the glenohumeral joint causing shoulder pain and a gradual loss of both passive and active range of motion. The pathology of idiopathic frozen shoulder is defined as a self-limiting condition of unknown etiology. Pain relief through suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) followed by manipulation and home exercises may be a suitable treatment option in such patients.
