The best way to heal a frozen shoulder is to have a chiropractor who is skilled in extremity adjusting to perform a manipulation and follow up with appropriate therapeutic exercises. You should do the exercises every day and try both moist heat and ice pack treatment. Depending on the nature and severity of the condition you should get relief in a few weeks.
The typical life-cycle of adhesive capsulitis (aka frozen shoulder) can be 7 months to over a year! There are some things to consider when trying to make a quicker recovery. First, a good history an examination are essential to finding the underlying cause of frozen shoulder. There is a percentage of those with frozen shoulder that have thyroid problems or other metabolic disorders that should be considered. Simple blood tests can detect these things. It is important to do range of motion exercises. A chiropractor can help determine if you have glenohumeral joint and scapular dysfunctions that may need to be corrected.
Bottom line, the faster you can get to the underlying cause, the faster you can get the appropriate treatment.

Depends on how "frozen" it is. If it is complete, you will need to see an orthopedic asap. If there is mild to moderate range of motion, your chiropractor may be able to help. Either way, look for help right away.
A frozen shoulder can have several different causes. A careful assessment of the shoulder will be necessary to determine the areas of restriction and course of treatment. I have had enormous success with adjustment of the occiput on the affected side along with PNF therapy on the traps and rhomboids of the affected side and of course adjusting the shoulder itself.
