How to treat shoulder periarthritis for faster recovery

To treat shoulder periarthritis and accelerate recovery, a comprehensive approach involving multiple methods is required. 1. Cold and heat therapy are effective for relieving pain during the acute phase and reducing inflammation during the stable phase. Cold application during the acute phase reduces nerve sensitivity, while heat application during the stable phase promotes blood circulation. 2. Medications such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can reduce inflammation and relieve pain, but care should be taken to avoid potential gastrointestinal irritation from prolonged use. 3. Physical therapies—including traditional Chinese methods such as cupping, acupuncture, and massage, as well as modern physical therapies like ultrashort wave therapy and infrared radiation—can all enhance blood circulation in the shoulder area and alleviate pain. 4. Functional exercises, such as the wall-climbing method and circular motion exercises, improve metabolism and help restore shoulder joint function.
