The dissertation explores the methods of treating Adhesive Capsulitis (AC), a painful and debilitating musculoskeletal disorder, through physiotherapy and corticosteroid injection therapy. Literature is reviewed on the trails conducted in AC patients, evaluating the effectiveness of the trails and discussing results of the combination therapy where corticosteroid injections were provided prior to physical/manipulative therapy. Conclusions are made about the effectiveness of the combination therapy treatment and the poor effects of the long-term use of corticosteroid and physical therapy with regard to pain relief in AC patients. Anti-depressants are suggested to help AC patients experience less pain when inactive.
