Shoulder periarthritis and cervical spondylosis can be treated through medications, surgery, physical therapies, and other methods. When experiencing pain from shoulder periarthritis or cervical spondylosis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium may be used according to medical advice to relieve discomfort. Physical treatments such as massage and manipulation can also serve as adjunctive therapies to alleviate symptoms. For severe cases of shoulder periarthritis, surgical options such as joint capsule incision and release procedures may be considered. For cervical spondylosis, surgical treatments including laminoplasty or laminectomy with fixation and fusion may be recommended.
