Can shoulder periarthritis heal on its own

Some patients with shoulder periarthritis may self heal, but most require intervention and treatment. Scapulohumeral periarthritis is a chronic inflammation of soft tissues around the shoulder joint, which is mainly manifested by shoulder pain and limited movement. It is mainly relieved by hot compress physiotherapy, acupuncture and moxibustion and massage, functional exercise, medication, surgery and other methods. Some patients with early shoulder periarthritis may gradually recover through regular functional exercise. Active shoulder joint movement helps to release adhesions and improve blood circulation, such as wall climbing and pendulum movements, which are repeated daily. Hot compress or moxibustion can alleviate muscle spasms and promote the absorption of inflammation. During this stage, avoid lifting heavy objects and getting cold, as most symptoms will alleviate within a few months. Patients with a long course of illness or severe pain usually require medical intervention. Acupuncture and moxibustion can dredge channels and collaterals by taking acupoints such as Jiandang, Jianliao and massage. When the pain is obvious, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets and loxoprofen sodium tablets can be used according to medical advice. Severe adhesions may require joint cavity injection of compound betamethasone injection. If conservative treatment is ineffective and the disease course exceeds 1 year, arthroscopic minimally invasive release surgery may be considered.

During the rehabilitation period of shoulder periarthritis, continuous shoulder joint function exercises are required, such as pulling towels, shaking hands and drawing circles, combined with gentle exercises such as Eight Section Brocade to enhance muscle strength.
