PHOENIX — Watchful waiting was shown to have possible noninferiority to physical therapy as treatment for patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, based on results of a study presented at the Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting, here.

Furthermore, presenter Paul F. Abraham, BS, said, concerning value-based care, a survey showed patient-incurred costs 12 months after each intervention were greater in the physical therapy (PT) group vs. the watchful waiting group.
