There are several treatment options for the stiff shoulder. The most common initial treatment is a well thought out physical therapy program with a strong emphasis on home exercises/stretching. If this does not decrease the pain and increase the motion, occasionally you will have to undergo a manipulation of the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) while you are briefly put under a general anesthesia.
