 The purpose of this study is to identify individuals 18 or older who have diagnostic presentation of adhesive capsulitis and randomize them into two arms, distinguished by use of physical therapy and steroid injections compared with steroid injections followed by watchful waiting. This prospective study will be used to determine whether there is a significant impact on patient outcome and whether the additional financial burden is justified. The standard of care calls for initial non-operative therapy consisting of NSAIDs, watchful waiting, and oral and parenteral corticosteroid administration with consideration for operative therapy after 6 months of failed conservative therapy. We would like to enroll patients who are willing to be randomized and postpone operative therapy for a period of up to one year during which we would have scheduled follow up visits at regular intervals. There are no experimental interventions for this study. The use of physical therapy, oral and parenteral corticosteroids, and watchful waiting are offered following the standard of care for adhesive capsulitis.
