The acute phase of frozen shoulder varies depending on the patient’s physical condition and age and duration of the disease, mostly between one week and one month. The acute phase is characterized by severe pain in the shoulder joint and significant restriction of the patient’s movement. Some patients cannot sleep at night when the pain is severe, or even during the day or night when the pain is severe, and cannot touch the affected area. Acute treatment is mainly acupuncture, physiotherapy or tui na, which are all more effective. The most common treatment method for the acute stage of frozen shoulder is acupuncture, with important acupuncture points such as the shoulder joint being selected locally. Blood pricking and cupping on the painful points, usually biceps tendonitis, subacromial bursitis, supraspinatus tendonitis, as well as large round muscle and small round muscle injuries, are treated with blood pricking therapy depending on the location. In severe cases, do small acupuncture treatment. This method can be used for patients with severe or intractable and more severe pain and require faster recovery.
