Summary
This study looked at whether a technique called gong mobilization, with or without a quick spinal adjustment, can reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Thirty-six adults aged 40 to 60 with stage 2 frozen shoulder took part. They received the treatments three times a week for four weeks, and researchers measured pain, shoulder motion, and disability before and after.
