Brief Summary

This study will compare the effectiveness of the Spencer Technique combined with intra-articular injection versus conventional therapy combined with intra-articular injection in managing frozen shoulder. The research problem addresses the need for optimal therapeutic approaches to improve pain relief, range of motion, and functional recovery in patients with frozen shoulder.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Combination Product: Spencer Technique (CI)

Interventions

Conventional Treatment(CI) DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients receive a corticosteroid injection followed by conventional treatment, such as standard physical therapy exercises focused on range of motion and strengthening, without the specific manual techniques of the Spencer method.

Control Group

Spencer Technique (CI) COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Patients receive a corticosteroid injection followed by the Spencer technique, which involves a series of specific manual mobilization maneuvers aimed at improving shoulder mobility and reducing pain.
