Manipulation for frozen shoulder can be an amazing treatment for this condition. Frozen shoulder can be a condition with several causes, so your chiropractor needs to identify the root cause of your range of motion loss, and your pain. Imaging may be required if you do not respond to chiropractic adjustments.

The short answer is that it can be, depending on the cause of frozen shoulder. A good chiropractic physician will investigate all possible causes of frozen shoulder. Primary frozen shoulder is a musculoskeletal condition, but secondary frozen shoulder may be caused in association with something else, like diabetes or thyroid disease. It is important to check for underlying issues. This can be done with a few simple blood tests. Your evaluation of frozen shoulder should include a clinical exam, possibly x-rays, and lab work.
Emphatic yes! The truth is many frozen shoulders will not fully recover without the cervical spine being adjusted (if the cervicals are misaligned).
The short answer is yes manipulation may be useful in restoring a frozen shoulder. That being said you should always have a qualified physician evaluate your shoulder before receiving any manipulation or treatment.

Frozen shoulder can benefit from myofascial release treatment, which is an active deep tissue massage. In addition to myofascial release, I would recommend adjusting the upper back, mid-back, and neck region.
Definitely yes, in my practice I find I need to do deep tissue work on the subscapularis muscle- on the underside of your shoulder blade. It doesn't feel good but patients are always able to lift their arm higher from the back after that treatment.

In Phase 1 of frozen shoulder manipulation may be very painful and not very helpful. Manipulation in Phase 2 or Phase 3 is much more beneficial.
Yes, under anesthesia if completely frozen.
