Yes they can, but it is usually a painful rehabilitation no matter what type of Doctor or Therapist treats it. It is best to keep the injured Shoulder mobile to evert a “Frozen Shoulder” from developing in the first place.
Yes but I would seek out someone who is Certified with Dr. Jack Dolbin's shoulder treatment
Yes, but they usually take a little while to fix with quite a bit of therapy.
With frozen shoulder you are better off finding a chiropractor that does Active Release Technique to break up the soft tissue or even a physical therapist. Adjusting the shoulder can be painful and difficult depending on the severity.
Absolutely can. Call for an appointment. 631-451-1515.
It depends on the level of shoulder restriction. Also the only way to rehab a frozen shoulder is to forcefully stretch the shoulder through painful ranges to increase motion. Evaluate the restriction of the shoulder and your pain tolerance.
Yes, this is a condition that Chiropractors can help.
Absolutely with extremity manipulation and special exercises
Yes, unless it is 100% frozen and does not move.

I have worked successfully on many frozen shoulders. The amount of success depends on the cause of the condition, how long it has been there, how contentious the individual is with following advice and type of previous treatment.
