Stick with PT and continue the home exercises. It’s a little bit of a slog but you will get there!

I had to go through two rounds of PT to clear mine up for good.

They're all quacks. You need physical therapy.

I would not go to a chiropractor for a frozen shoulder. You should go to an orthopedist for an evaluation and they can write prescription for PT. It's important to find a good therapist b/c that will make a big difference in how quickly you recover. You will also need to do the home exercises regularly to ensure you recover full mobility.

My chiropractors over the years have absolutely been....nothing short of miraculous. I was 3 weeks away from spinal surgery after PT made my back even worse, so I decided to go to a chiropractor because, although I thought they were quacks, I felt like I had nothing to lose. In two weeks (I think 5 sessions), I was probably 75%. I cancelled my surgery and within a month a was probably 90%. He was amazing. I saw him anytime my back and later my neck gave me problems. My office moved out of the city and I found another great one thank goodness. I just went to him a week ago for pain in my scapula/trap area. Felt great afterward. Tighten up a few days later. Went back again and now it's 100%. Hips, neck, back, shoulders, etc....he fixes me up. I have gone to PT for my back three times and all three times I hurt my back during a session because they usually just throw you with some intern to follow a predesigned program. I'm a huge fan of chiros. PTs at least in my Cigna network have sucked!

My experience exactly with insurance-paid PT. I’ve had mixed luck with chiropractors but some of the modalities they use are the same ones PT’s use. A good PT can be worth their weight in gold but the ones I’ve found are cash only.
