Rapid Treatment Methods for Periarthritis of the Shoulder

Periarthritis of the shoulder, also known as "frozen shoulder," is a common shoulder condition characterized primarily by shoulder joint pain and restricted movement. Methods to relieve symptoms of periarthritis of the shoulder:

1. Medication: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen capsules and aspirin capsules, can effectively alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. If the pain is severe, short-term use of corticosteroid medications may be recommended, administered either by injection or orally.

2. Heat and Cold Compresses: At different stages of periarthritis of the shoulder, both heat and cold compresses can play a certain role. During the acute phase, cold compresses help alleviate pain; during the stable phase, heat compresses can promote blood circulation and aid in reducing inflammation.

3. Massage and Manipulation: Massage and manipulation can relieve tension and spasms in the shoulder muscles, improve local blood circulation, and aid in the recovery from periarthritis of the shoulder.

4. Acupuncture and Cupping: As traditional Chinese therapies, acupuncture and cupping also have certain therapeutic effects on periarthritis of the shoulder. Acupuncture can stimulate acupoints and regulate qi and blood, while cupping can unblock meridians and remove cold-dampness.

5. Shoulder Functional Exercises: Based on pain control, performing shoulder functional exercises such as rotation, lifting, and stretching can help restore the range of motion of the shoulder joint and prevent muscle atrophy.
