Is it effective to treat frozen shoulder with injection?

Whether blocking injections for frozen shoulder are effective actually depends on the situation. In most cases, blocking injections only relieve pain and cannot be used as a radical treatment method. Therefore, if you have frozen shoulder, you should also pay attention to consulting a doctor for scientific treatment.

1. Large blockade can only temporarily relieve pain, but its effect is delayed and aggravates the condition. After a period of time, the pain will worsen again. Frozen shoulder is a chronic aseptic inflammation of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, bursae and joint capsules around the shoulder joint. Inflammation causes adhesions inside and outside the joint, which affects the movement of the shoulder joint. The lesions are characterized by extensiveness, i.e., extensive pain, extensive functional limitation, and extensive tenderness. The full name of frozen shoulder is periarthritis of the shoulder. In traditional Chinese medicine, arthritis is usually caused by flashes, friction, wind, cold, dampness and heat, which leads to metabolic obstruction. I suggest using Chinese medicine for external application, mainly to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dispel cold and dampness, and promote the patient's metabolic function. It can be cured. ?

Facing the wall and climbing the wall - the patient stands facing the wall and slowly climbs up the wall with the fingers of the affected side, raising the upper limb as high as possible, making a mark on the wall, and then slowly descending back to the original position. Repeat this process and gradually increase the height.
