以前一直有个疑问，那些疼痛非常厉害来就诊的50岁左右肩周炎女性患者，最后都怎么样了？

治疗与恢复活动
粘连性关节囊炎的治疗取决于病因及纤维化程度。对于大多数患者，该病症状具有自限性，经保守治疗后可在1至3年内缓解。物理治疗结合居家锻炼计划是主要的初始治疗手段。建议初期采用温和的关节活动度练习，并配合循序渐进的牵伸训练；针对此病症，强化肌力训练并非治疗重点。
Management/Return to Activities
Management of adhesive capsulitis is based on the etiology and severity of the fibrosis. For a majority of patients, the symptoms are self-limiting and will resolve over a 1-3-year period with conservative management. Physical therapy combined with a home. exercise program is the initial mainstay of treatment. It is recommended to initially start with a gentle range of motion of the joint combined with progressive stretching exercises. Strengthening is not the focus in therapy for this condition.
