Frozen shoulder is a self-limiting disease that can heal on its own, but most of the self healing time is very long and the patient is in pain, so it should be treated aggressively. Proper treatment will greatly shorten the treatment period of frozen shoulder and minimize the patient’s pain. Although the symptoms of frozen shoulder can be slowly relieved, there is a problem that if left untreated, the pain can take a long time, and in some patients it can even take 1-2 years, before slow relief occurs. Restricted movement due to pain leads to muscle atrophy and dysfunction of the shoulder joint, which is the most serious consequence of frozen shoulder. Moreover, if left untreated, the patient will suffer a lot during the course of the disease and the quality of life will be reduced because of the severe pain in the shoulder, restricted movement, inability to wear clothes, and inability to take care of themselves. The pathological changes of frozen shoulder are windy and cold, so the treatment should be to warm the meridians to dispel wind, disperse cold and remove dampness, and at the same time replenish qi and blood. External treatment is based on the principle of unblocking the meridians, dispersing wind and cold, and releasing adhesions. Commonly used external treatment methods include herbal compresses, acupuncture, massage and acupuncture knife. In addition to the above mentioned therapies, Western non-pharmacological treatment, rehabilitation exercises, Western medicine and surgery can also be used to treat frozen shoulder. It is important to emphasize that frozen shoulder is a chronic strain disease and the people who develop it are older, so the treatment period should be relatively long to achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, patients should be mentally prepared and have a positive attitude during the treatment period.
