acupuncture can treat frozen shoulder

Scapulohumeral periarthritis, also called frozen shoulder, is mainly manifested as shoulder pain, motor impairment of shoulder joint and even local muscular atrophy，resulting in nonspecific inflammation and restricting movement of the shoulder. It is often seen among people around 50,particularly among physical laborers. The occurrence of the disorder is higher in women than in men.

  In Traditional Chinese Medicine,this disorder is also called coagulation of the shoulder.Tendons are attached to joints and connected with the bone governed by the kidney.From middle age,people begin to decline in Kidney Qi.The deficiency of Kidney Qi fails to produce sufficient essence to nourish marrow. Also,it can be caused by invasion of wind,cold and dampness into the tendons, leading to stagnation of Qi and blood and spasm of tendons. If the disorder lasts for quite long time,it will cause stiffness of tendons and muscles, or blood stasis due to stagnation of Qi and blood ,or obstruction of Qi and blood circulation. Obstructed meridians and collaterals may result in pain and eventually cause shoulder periarthritis.

  Acupuncture is through some acupuncture points that can activate qi and blood and dredge channels,which make qi and blood distributed free of frustration.If the circulation of Qi and blood in some parts of shoulder is not smooth ,acupuncture can be used to promote essential qi and get the circulation back to normal.

  At present, our clinic use acupuncture combine with moxibustion.The material of moxibustion uses moxa roll,which made from a Chinese herb,moxa,to warm the acupoints.  Beng Cao Cong Xin  (New compilation of Materia Medica) address: “ moxa ,which is nontoxic ,tastes as bitter and acrid,and is warm in fresh form and hot after processed.Its nature is extreme yang ,which can restore the collapsing yang qi ,dredge 12 channels,smooth three yin channels,regulate qi and blood ,expel cold with warming and warm uterus,can eliminate disease by dredging channels.” With a good smell on burning, it heats straightly and goes into the body deeply ,even reaches deep-seates muscles straightly . As a result ,the stiffness of tendons and muscles and stagnation of Qi and blood can get a wonderful relief. The combination of Acupuncture and Moxibustration are much more effecitive than Acupuncture merely.
