Ibuprofen can be used to treat periarthritis of the shoulder. Ibuprofen has good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and is effective in relieving shoulder pain and limited mobility caused by periarthritis. Patients may also benefit from combination therapy with muscle relaxants and medications that improve microcirculation for enhanced results. Integrating treatments such as acupuncture, joint mobilization techniques, and physical agent therapies can better control inflammation, promote the repair of damaged soft tissues, and further alleviate symptoms including pain, soreness, swelling, and restricted movement.
