Rheumatic frozen shoulder is mainly treated by medication and functional exercises.
1. Drug therapy: patients with rheumatic frozen shoulder may have symptoms such as shoulder joint pain and swelling, and can generally take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib and diclofenac sodium for analgesia and anti-inflammation, and can also take antirheumatic drugs such as salicylazosulphapyridine and methotrexate for controlling the progress of the disease.
2. Functional exercise: If the symptoms of rheumatic frozen shoulder are relieved, patients can carry out passive stretching training, active shoulder lifting training and other shoulder joint functional exercises under the guidance of physicians to relieve the symptoms and improve the mobility of the shoulder joint.
The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a physician, and it is recommended that patients with rheumatic frozen shoulder go to the rheumatology and immunology department, orthopedics department and other related departments of regular hospitals in a timely manner, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized diagnosis and treatment.
