Brief Answer:
Infrared therapy advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Health Care.Magic Forum. Thanks for trusting is with your health query.I have gone through your query and understand your concerns completely.
The good part is X-ray is normal but frankly frozen shoulder has very erratic response to physiotherapy generally.
I personally feel infrared therapy has better effect of given along with usual physiotherapy.
So you can discuss this with your orthopedician and opt for it if he finds it feasible too.
Also ask her to take lot of warm liquids and turmeric milk.
All the best
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible

Detailed Answer:
Yes it can get better with time.
Remission and relapse is very common in frozen shoulder.
But still relief is always needed as it improves overall progress and prognosis of the disease.
