How to treat pain below the left shoulder blade in the back

The treatment of pain below the left shoulder blade in the back must be targeted. Western medicine treatment mainly focuses on anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment. Drugs such as vitamin B1 or other anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs will be used. Of course, Chinese medicine treatment is also indispensable.

(1) Western medicine treatment: You can take indomethacin, vitamin B1 or other drugs with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. At present, there is no specific effective drug.

(2) Treatment with Chinese medicine: Early use of Chinese medicine that can dredge the meridians, activate blood circulation, unblock the collaterals and relieve pain, combined with acupuncture, massage and functional exercise, has a good therapeutic effect.

(3) Acupuncture treatment: Select the Jianneiling, Jianguyu, Jianzhen, Jianyu, Tianzong and other acupoints and perform the tonifying method or the balanced tonifying and draining method once a day. Alternatively, select the Tiaokou acupoint and perform the draining method, combined with the tonifying method at Tianzong and Jianzhen acupoints, combined with hot compress, cupping or warm acupuncture, for better results.

(4) Massage therapy: Use the thumb or middle finger to massage the Jian Nei Ling, Jian Gu Yu, Tian Zong, Jian Zhen and other acupoints for two minutes each; and use pinching, rubbing, shaking and other techniques in combination with shoulder joint movement therapy for treatment.

(5) Keep your shoulders warm and avoid getting cold.

(6) Regular and appropriate exercise, such as soft gymnastics, Tai Chi, Ba Duan Jin, etc., can not only promote local blood circulation, but also strengthen the function of the shoulder joint capsule and the soft tissue around the joint, thereby preventing or reducing the aggravation of periarthritis of the shoulder.
