Traditional Chinese Medicine Methods for Treating Frozen Shoulder

　　In life, many people will suffer from frozen shoulder. Although this is a disease that can be either serious or minor, it will always have an impact on their lives. Especially in rainy weather, the shoulder will hurt severely. Many people will choose to apply plasters, but it seems to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Isn’t there a good way? Of course there is, but everyone doesn’t know it. Let’s find out together.

　　Extracutaneous acupuncture. The method is: take a 1~2cm section of a matchstick, place it on a specific part, and remove it 3~5 days after the tape is fixed. Mainly used to treat pain syndrome. Such as intercostal neuralgia, pleurisy, etc. 　Acupuncture, massage, wax therapy, etc. were ineffective. I used Astragalus Guizhi Wuwu Decoction, Juanbi Decoction and other treatments. Although they were effective, they were slow. Some pain is worse after acupuncture. I occasionally read my study notes and described the extracutaneous acupuncture method, which inspired me to try it in the clinic and the effect was very good. Repeatedly verified, all are valid, so there is no doubt about the integrity.

　　The method is: place the matchstick on the tender point near Tianzong and Diaphragm Guan, and fix it with tape.

　　For example: Patient Xing had pain in his shoulder and arm and could not lift it for more than a month. The first wax treatment was ineffective, and the pain became more severe with continued acupuncture. He could only lift it up to his chin with his hand. He often couldn't sleep at night because of the pain. After the diagnosis, she was treated with Astragalus Guizhi Wuwu Decoction plus Angelicae Sinensis, Millet Spatholobi, and Turmeric for 4 days. The pain subsided slightly, but the pain was still difficult to fall asleep. After placing external skin needles at the tender points near Tianzong and Diaphragm Guan, the pain was greatly reduced the next day. After 3 days, I could touch my head with my hands, and after 7 days, the pain basically disappeared.

　　Since this method can treat shoulder coagulation, can it be used for humeral epicondylitis? It is also effective in clinical trials.

　　The method is: place a matchstick about 1cm on the most painful point of the upper ankle of the humerus and fix it with tape. “For example: Weng Mou suffered from pain on the outside of his left elbow for 2 weeks. The pain was aggravated by stretching and flexing, and he was unable to do housework. The pain did not decrease after previous treatment with acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and plasters. After switching to external skin acupuncture treatment, the pain was relieved the next day and disappeared after 7 days. It is also effective for local pain caused by intercostal neuralgia, coronary artery disease, and pleurisy.

　　In recent years, when acupuncture is used to treat diseases, some people have repeatedly emphasized deep and strong needling, and have changed the intradermal acupuncture treatment method to implanting stainless steel rings. Don’t you know that these methods are acceptable when used for empirical evidence, but they are more harmful to righteousness when used for deficiency syndrome. Loss of righteousness, blockage of qi and blood, and more severe pain. The external skin acupuncture method has a small stimulation amount, which can slowly adjust the yin and yang of qi and blood, and dredge the qi and blood. Because the force is small and slow, it will not damage the healthy qi. Therefore, patients with qi and blood deficiency, for whom acupuncture, massage and other methods are ineffective, often gain results.

　　For your own health, when there is an abnormality in your body, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination in time. If you find that you have frozen shoulder, you might as well try this method.
