Treatment options including benign neglect, home-based and supervised physical therapy, intraarticular corticosteroid injections, closed manipulations, and arthroscopic capsular release will be reviewed critically and the authors’ approach to the treat- ment of patients with idiopathic adhesive capsulitis also will he presented.
