What are the causes of frozen shoulder?

If you want to effectively prevent frozen shoulder, you need to pay attention to the causes of frozen shoulder. Failure to keep warm in daily life, frequent exposure of shoulders or moisture invasion, coupled with failure to pay attention to correct sleeping posture may also cause frozen shoulder.

1. Many young people pay too much attention to their appearance, only caring about making themselves look good, and not paying attention to keeping their bodies warm. The stimulation of cold wind will cause neck muscle spasms and nerve edema, which will lead to neck and shoulder pain and limited head and neck movements. In addition to the cold seasons, you should also pay attention to covering your shoulders properly in the hot summer to avoid air conditioning or fans blowing directly on your neck and shoulders. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to keeping their shoulders warm.

2. Strain or degeneration of the soft tissue around the shoulder joint. Maintaining the shoulder in a certain posture for a long time, working with the head down for a long time, and excessive shoulder load can all cause chronic strain or degeneration of the soft tissue around the shoulder joint. Strain or degeneration can cause diseases such as supraspinatus tendinitis, biceps tendinitis, subacromial bursitis and capsulitis, thereby causing chronic inflammation and adhesion of the soft tissue around the shoulder joint.

3. The pillow is our closest companion when we sleep, and the height of the pillow affects our sleeping posture. As the saying goes, "sleep high and you'll have no worries." In fact, a pillow that is too high can have a very worrying impact on the cervical spine. If the pillow is too high, it will change the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine, causing muscle fatigue injury and ligament strain, resulting in cramps, inflammation, etc., and symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, numbness of the hands, and dizziness.

4. 99% of people who love to play mahjong will suffer from shoulder periarthritis. This is because the shoulders are in a flexed position or certain specific positions for a long time, which makes the neck and back muscles always in a tense and contracted state. Over time, muscle edema and spasm will occur, and even the pressure in the shoulder disc will increase, eventually suffering from shoulder periarthritis. .
