What should I do if I get shoulder periarthritis after demonstrating massage techniques for shoulder periarthritis

Shoulder periarthritis can be treated through massage, hot compress therapy, functional exercise, medication therapy, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, and other methods. Shoulder periarthritis is usually caused by shoulder strain, invasion of wind and cold, stagnation of qi and blood, liver and kidney deficiency, trauma and other factors.

1. Massage

After using the rolling method to relax the shoulder muscles, use your thumb to press on the Shoulder Hill and Shoulder Liao points for 3 minutes each, and then pinch the Shoulder Well point. When using the rebound technique on the adhesive area, the force should penetrate, and finally use the shaking method to move the shoulder joint. During the acute phase, the technique should be gentle, while during the chronic phase, the intensity can be increased. Massage combined with moxibustion has a better effect.

2. Hot compress therapy

Heat the coarse salt into a cloth bag, control the temperature at 50-60 ℃, and apply hot compress to the affected area twice a day. Alternatively, use a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress pack containing 30 grams each of cassia twig, safflower, and bone penetrating herb. Boil the mixture in water and soak it in a towel for external application. When exposed to infrared radiation, keep a distance of 30 centimeters from the skin for 20 minutes each time. Be careful to prevent skin burns.

3. Functional Exercise

During wall climbing practice, fingers face the wall and climb up alternately, with 3 groups per day and 10 times per group. The pendulum moves forward and the affected limb naturally droops in a circle, with the diameter increasing from small to large. Hold the towel with both hands behind your back and pull it up and down, with a tolerance for pain. All exercises should be gradual and avoid violent pulling.

4. Drug treatment

traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations such as Huoxue Zhitong Capsule and Biqi Capsule can be used according to the doctor's advice, or Xueshan Golden Arhat Pain Relieving Paint can be used externally. When the pain is obvious, short-term use of celecoxib capsules can be taken, and muscle spasms can be treated with methylprednisolone hydrochloride tablets. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and washing can be done with modified Guizhi Tang, which contains 15 grams each of Qianghuo, Sangzhi, and Weilingxian.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Acupuncture: Take three needles from the shoulder and combine them with a strip to pass through Chengshan. Leave the needles on for 20 minutes. Cupping is done in the scapular area, and the appearance of bruising marks indicates the degree. Scraping therapy is performed in one direction from the neck and shoulders to the elbows, twice a week. Tonic Diet recommends angelica ginger mutton soup, or 10 grams of eucommia ulmoides oliv and achyranthes bidentata in pig tendon pot.

Avoid lifting heavy objects and getting cold in daily life, and do not put pressure on the shoulders during sleep. You can perform the Eight Section Brocade Double Hand Tenri Triple Focus Movement, combined with slow breathing exercises. Eat more collagen rich pig trotters and fish swim bladder, and avoid raw and cold foods. If conservative treatment for three months is ineffective, joint cavity injection or needle knife release treatment should be considered. During the acute phase, activity should be reduced, while during the chronic phase, functional exercise should be maintained to prevent muscle atrophy.
