Yes he or she can , provided you saw your Dr. first had a MRI to see if there is any damage to your shoulder, if not a chiropractor can help, he or she will then refer you to a Medical Massage Therapist who has dealt with your problem.
Yes.
Yes they can! We do this primary by 5 different ways:
Adjustments: Chiropractors use gentle moves to help fix parts of your body that might not be working right. For frozen shoulder, they might do some special moves to help your shoulder feel better.
Massages and Stretching: They might also do massages or show you some stretches to make your shoulder muscles feel more relaxed and less tight.
Exercises: They can teach you some fun exercises that can make your shoulder stronger and help you move it better.
Better Sitting and Standing: They might also give you tips on how to sit and stand in a way that doesn't make your shoulder hurt.
Working Together: Chiropractors can work with other doctors to make sure you get all the help you need for your shoulder. They want to make sure you feel better and can do all the things you love without any pain.

Yes!
Sometimes a frozen shoulder, otherwise known as adhesive capsulitis, can be caused by a misalignment between the skull and the occiput. When that is the cause, Chiropractic can absolutely help.
Yes, but it depends on how they handle it. Passive/ active stretching and interferential.
Yes, most definitely. It will take some time, but yes! I have helped many people in that situation.
There are approximately 75,000 chiropractors in the United States. I can't speak for all of them, but over the years, I've learned to treat frozen shoulder very effectively. First, I'll do a physical therapy modality to ease pain. Then I'll do some soft tissue work to ease discomfort. Thirdly, I'll adjust the base of the neck, to ensure proper nerve supply to the shoulder. Lastly, I'll utilize a drop table to gently restore range of motion in the affected shoulder. I usually see positive results after the initial treatment and after a few weeks the problem is resolved.
