Who are the people who are susceptible to frozen shoulder?

  Research shows that most of the patients who suffer from frozen shoulder are non-manual workers who move their shoulders and arms a lot but do not consume physical energy, such as chefs, teachers, writers, painters, accountants, drivers and some office workers. These patients have to move their shoulders frequently or have to fix their shoulders in a certain position for a long time, especially when most of them are in a mildly abducted and internally rotated position.  For example, chefs who use knives, spatulas, and spoons are in this category. The posture of an accountant using a calculator or microcomputer, the posture of a driver grasping the steering wheel, the posture of a writer or painter, etc. Although the force is not large, but its posture is fixed for a long time, over time, it will inevitably lead to chronic fatigue damage to certain tissues of the shoulder and arm, degenerative changes, and eventually lead to pan-inflammatory disease. In addition, these postures tend to cause fatigue of the rotator cuff muscles and muscle keys, accelerating the strain degeneration and degeneration of the rotator cuff. This regular fatigue accumulates into minor injuries with minor soreness and swelling symptoms, which are not easily taken into account, and if there is further accidental stimulation, the inflammatory reaction is triggered, causing congestion, exudation and granulation. After middle age, especially around 50 years old, the metamorphosis reaches a certain level, tissue regeneration and repair ability decreases, endocrine dysfunction, metabolic decreases and other triggers can lead to rapid adhesions, fibrosis and even calcification of inflammatory foci, which eventually lead to restricted movement and severe pain in the joints of the shoulder.  Therefore, it is especially important to take preventive measures for the above-mentioned susceptible groups. Frozen shoulder is mainly caused by degenerative changes in the tissues surrounding the shoulder joint, trauma, less functional activity of the shoulder and cervical spondylosis (nerve root type). According to the causes of frozen shoulder, prevention can be done in the following ways: 1. Avoid excessive fatigue of the shoulder. Over fatigue can easily lead to chronic fatigue and injury to the soft tissues of the shoulder. 2. Avoid cold and dampness in the shoulder. Cold and damp is an important factor in the occurrence of frozen shoulder, especially when sleeping at night, pay attention to shoulder warmth.  3.Avoid shoulder trauma. Especially for the elderly, because of poor coordination of motor functions, a slight external force can cause soft tissue injury to the shoulder or even fracture.  4.Avoid long-term braking. Long-term inactivity of the shoulder for various reasons can cause adhesions and contractures of the soft tissues of the shoulder joint.  5.Keep the stability of the shoulder joint. Increasing the shoulder muscle strength exercises can reduce the occurrence and recurrence of frozen shoulder. However, muscle strength exercises must follow the principles of gradual, individual treatment and combination of local and whole body exercises to avoid causing shoulder injury.  If the symptoms of frozen shoulder cannot be effectively relieved by the above health care, you can come to the pain clinic for specialized treatment, and have your frozen shoulder pain completely and effectively relieved until it is cured by acupuncture and heat therapy, Chinese herbal medicine and other methods.
