Which acupuncture point to choose for shoulder pain cupping

Shoulder pain is categorized as shoulder paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine, and cupping can be performed on the A-shi point (the point where the feeling of acidity, numbness, distension and pain is obvious), the big loom point, the front of the shoulder, the shoulder, the shoulder, and the shoulder sac, and so on. The main symptom of persistent shoulder pain and activity limitation is called shoulder paralysis, and the main principle of treating shoulder paralysis is to activate the channels and muscles, soothe the tendons and relieve the pain, and take local acupoints as the main point of treatment. Cupping in Chinese medicine has the efficacy of warming the meridians and collaterals, activating blood circulation and relieving pain (relieving pain by removing blood stasis), etc. It is mainly applied to the Ahshi point, that is, the part with obvious pressure and pain; meanwhile, it can also be combined with the Da Loom point, the shoulder point, the Shoulder Solo point and the Shoulder Anterior point to carry out cupping. In addition to cupping, shoulder paralysis can also be treated with acupuncture therapy and small needle therapy. It should be noted that the causes of shoulder pain are complex, cupping is suitable for the treatment of shoulder pain caused by shoulder strain, while those caused by other causes need to consult a doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment.
