3. Rehabilitation exercises: Under a doctor's guidance, perform shoulder rehabilitation exercises to strengthen shoulder muscle strength.
4. Medication: Use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics as directed by a physician to alleviate pain and inflammation.
5. Surgical treatment: Surgery may be required in severe cases where non-surgical treatments are ineffective.
Specific treatment should be carried out under a doctor's guidance and tailored to the individual patient's condition to develop a personalized treatment plan.
