What Causes Frozen Arm Syndrome?

default
Posted on Mon, 8 Aug 2016
Question: I was diagnosed with "frozen arm" syndrome. I was told that I needed to get physical therapy to get mobility in my arm. Will I always have to get physical therapy, or will I be able to stop at some point because my arm is 100 back to normal?
