Breaking Free from Frozen Constraints: The Radiant Recovery of Shoulders Through Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
In Western medicine, the typical approach to frozen shoulder often leans on pain medication and steroid injections. However, even with these anti-inflammatory measures, the healing process can be prolonged due to persistent adhesions in the joint capsules. This is where acupuncture and herbal therapy emerge as potent allies, not only reducing inflammation but also softening the adhesions within the capsule.
How does this duo work? By promoting increased blood flow to the joint capsule and gently relaxing the muscles surrounding the rotator cuff, acupuncture and herbal therapy offer a holistic approach to healing. Taking it a step further, we integrate electricity during acupuncture, amplifying the reduction of inflammation and triggering the release of endorphins.
Our distinctive stretching protocol, combined with acupuncture, forms a dynamic combination, effectively softening the capsule and ensuring a comprehensive healing process for your shoulder joint. In summary, we are dedicated to supporting your shoulder's full recovery by providing:
Pain Relief: Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body. Inserting needles into specific points along the body's meridians alleviates pain associated with frozen shoulder. In some cases, electro-acupuncture is added to enhance pain relief.
Muscle Relaxation: Acupuncture aids in relaxing the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint, reducing stiffness and improving range of motion. Herbal remedies that nourish joints, tendons, and muscles are also incorporated to decrease stiffness and alleviate pain.
Inflammation Reduction: Research indicates that acupuncture has anti-inflammatory effects, targeting specific points associated with inflammation in the shoulder joint. Electro-acupuncture enhances these effects, and personalized herbal formulations can further address inflammation.
Nerve Modulation: Acupuncture strongly influences the nervous system and nerve pathways, modulating signals related to pain perception and muscle function. This contributes to addressing the symptoms of frozen shoulder.
Blood Flow Enhancement: Acupuncture improves blood circulation in the affected area, facilitating the delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen to the tissues. Herbal remedies used specifically for frozen shoulder further enhance blood circulation, promoting healing and reducing stiffness.
