Frozen shoulder needs to be treated “according to ability, step by step, persistent”

  I. What is frozen shoulder?  Frozen shoulder, also known as periarthritis, is a disease characterized by pain and restricted movement around the shoulder joint, and in time, muscle atrophy and joint stiffness. Modern medicine believes that it is due to chronic aseptic inflammation of the soft tissues around the shoulder joint, which causes extensive adhesions of the soft tissues and restricts the movement of the shoulder joint. It has two main manifestations: one is pain in the shoulder joint, and the other is limitation of shoulder joint movement. This disease has many names: it is commonly known as “fifty shoulder”, and people around 50 years old are the most common group of people with this disease; it is called “frozen shoulder” because of the cold in the shoulder; it is also called “frozen shoulder” because of the limitation of shoulder movement. frozen shoulder”. Frozen shoulder is a very common disease, and while modern life brings convenience, the incidence of frozen shoulder is also on the rise. There are slightly more women than men who suffer from frozen shoulder. Although the disease is not fatal, the pain and limitation of shoulder joint movement can cause unbearable pain to the patient, which can affect the quality of work and life.  What are the causes of frozen shoulder?  (1) It is mainly related to cold and chronic strain; (2) It is also caused by failure to perform joint exercises after shoulder fracture or dislocation; (3) It may be related to subacromial bursitis, adhesive tenosynovitis of biceps longus tendon, supraspinatus tendinopathy, etc.; (4) It is caused by long-term spasm of shoulder muscles due to primary disease; (5) Diabetic patients are also prone to periarthritis, and the prognosis of periarthritis in this type of patients is easy to recur; (6) Patients with hemiplegia are also prone to periarthritis. Patients with hemiplegia are also prone to frozen shoulder problems, which can turn into true frozen shoulder after a long time.  3. Do I need to treat frozen shoulder?  Patients with frozen shoulder are often reluctant to seek regular medical attention in the early stages of the disease, and “resist and practice”, but the results are often not good. Although some patients can heal on their own, it takes a long time, is painful, and is prone to recurrence. Every time the patient has severe pain in the shoulder joint, the activity is limited, which has a great impact on work, study, and physical and mental health, causing great inconvenience to patients and their families. Therefore, frozen shoulder needs to be prevented before it becomes a disease and prevented from becoming a disease. After a traumatic injury to the shoulder joint, it should be treated in time to prevent it from becoming chronic strain and forming frozen shoulder over time. However, it is necessary to avoid excessive exercise, warmth and direct blowing of fans or air conditioners, excessive fatigue (long hours of driving, playing with computers, etc.) and shoulder injuries (bruises, strains, etc.).  D. How to treat frozen shoulder?  The common treatment measures include acupuncture, moxibustion, tui na, acupuncture knife, internal and external fumigation with Chinese herbal medicine, voluntary functional exercises under the guidance of a doctor, and oral medication (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, etc.) and local painful point closure injections. However, this kind of treatment alone often takes longer time and effort. Then how to choose a faster and better way to treat the disease, to improve the quality of life of patients, to shorten the treatment time and to save the treatment cost. We can choose brachial plexus anesthesia shoulder release or general anesthesia shoulder release, which can be used to release the adhesive tissues on the affected side of the shoulder, block the pain reflex, restore the shoulder joint function, and cooperate with acupuncture and tui-na to enhance the sensory transmission of the meridians, increase the intensity of stimulation, activate the blood, open the channels, so as to relieve the tendons and pain. The treatment can enhance the sensation of meridians, maximize the intensity of stimulation, activate blood circulation, relieve tendons and pain, improve blood circulation around the shoulder joint, release adhesions and accelerate the recovery of joint function.
