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.

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.

They're all quacks. You need physical therapy.

Go swimming. Better than PT

Thank you, pp. Happy you feel better 🙂

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.

Yes, so sorry, i meant a frozen shoulder 🙂

Put on a sweater!

No, physical therapy is enough.

Why would anyone go to a chiropractor for anything?

Has any of you seen a chiropractor for a cold shoulder (in addition to recommended physical therapy)?

Any advice you found helful to heal a bit quicker ?

Thank you !!
