Effectively cure a Frozen Shoulder - without surgery
My shoulder on the left side had not been as mobile for a long time as the right side. Then I also had a motorcycle accident, where exactly the already battered shoulder after two months was completely limited in movement.
I could only wash my hair with one hand, and the daily use of the toilet was anything but easy. Suddenly I realized what a great day my shoulder day made possible. Now I was clearly limited in my quality of life.
After intensive research, I searched for suitable treatment methods. What exactly it was, I did not know, I only knew that it was an inflammation. And what a painful! As soon as I raised my arm or tilted it to one side, I had violently stinging pains running through my thigh and leg.
At first it was not clear, if it was only a bursitis, also an "age-related wear and tear? was suspected. Only the magnetic resonance examination provided information: Frozen Shoulder - also called former Kalkschulter. It goes through several stages, to complete movement restriction of the shoulder function.
The pillars of inflammation
- Pain (Latin Dolor)
- Warming of the tissue (Calor)
- Redness (rubor)
- Swelling (tumor)
- Function restriction (Functio Laesa)
Exactly in this order is the course of an inflammation, as is the case with a Frozen Shoulder? the case is.
The therapy
It is best not to wait too long to go to the doctor of his confidence. (Now I'm smarter). As soon as you feel pain, it is advisable not to ignore it, but to listen to your body and get treatment. (or treat yourself if there is knowledge about it).
First, I started a physical therapy with individual remedial gymnastics. However, depending on the health insurance company, this must be partly paid privately (in Austria). Furthermore, infiltrations were performed by the doctor, which I only had to give once. It is reported that the frequent needle punctures in the tendon areas directly at the shoulder joint cause irreparable damage. Fine holes, which makes the tendon significantly more inflexible, as the punctures form weak spots. For that reason, I have rejected further treatments of this kind, and I was not comfortable.
Since I have experienced even the best and most amazing healing successes of me through the Asian healing arts such as TCM, I went once a week to a practical doctor with specialization in TCM treatment. Unfortunately, this is also to be paid privately in Austria. Occasionally there are health insurance companies, the partial amounts pay back. Here one asks best of the own health insurance and inquires. (As a private service here are expected per treatment with about 50 - 80 €.) But health is worth more than money. Because:? Without health everything is nothing? says a saying. And I think it's true.
In the acupuncture, needles were then set to the stagnant energy - because nothing else is? Frozen Shoulder? -to get going again. Already after 2, 3 treatments I felt a little improvement here. Here I have to say that I dragged the shoulder problems for over a ¾ year and went to no doctor. Also, I did nothing else to remedy the complaints. On the contrary, I carried heavy bags on my shoulder through the area and allowed myself no rest and relaxation, until it came then to the strong movement restriction.
The self-treatment
In addition to the acupuncture treatment, I also treated myself at home using the following method. (This also comes from the Asian area of acupressure)
Here you massage both the opposite side - in this case the shoulder, which is healthy - and you go into the pain, just on the still sick side.
This means that as soon as I lifted my elbow up to the level of my chest, I had great pain in the neck and outer biceps muscles - and this area was extremely tense and the muscles very hard. Right there, where I now felt the pain, I started to sedate with my fingers in the neck area and then as firmly as I could stand it. This loosens and relaxes the tense fabric.
When I wanted to raise my arm behind my back, it raised my shoulder and again the muscle on the shoulder and upper arm was hard and aching. Also there I sedated the pain point. Where this is, you know yourself very well. It's where the pain is particularly felt when you push in. It is important to keep the pressure constant and not jerky or knocking, because this would do the opposite. Immediately after about 10 minutes but very intense (because painful) treatment, I could see the arm a greater range of motion.In addition, I did the daily exercises of the remedial gymnastics, as well as the circular movements of the shoulder and elbows (in both directions) recommended by my TCM doctor. Especially in joints, as well as the shoulder in this case, constant movement is important - otherwise there is really the risk that it stiffens.
The treatment duration
Of course you have to use it for a long time, especially if the symptoms have been around for some time (like mine). It took me at least 3 months. But today I can turn my arm back and forth, touch my hands behind my back again, tilt my arm back. Everything did not work in the past, and that at the age of 40.
The treating and respected orthopedic doctor said: "I have never experienced anything like this before - they were lucky !? But I know that there is no such thing as happiness. Happiness is only the result of a series of actions and events that you have created yourself.
The therapist from the individual remedial gymnastics said among us: "The healing gymnastics has not become so good !?
Helpful detoxification
At the end one more information on the edge: along the outer upper arm and along the shoulder runs the gall meridian. This is due to the creation of the Frozen Shoulder? mitbeteiligt. Therefore, for affected suffering and pain-plagued people a gall and liver cleansing is also announced.
For example with
- "Reishi" capsules or powder
- also artichoke, dandelion root, the tea called? Flor Essence?
- Sweden herbs or other preferably natural preparations that regulate the bile flow would be considered
- but sulfur MSM is also very good for detoxification.
It is also a prerequisite that you use detoxifying measures for at least 2 months a day and you should do this at least twice a year. It is also important that you use the means that are personally most sympathetic to you.
A word at the end
Have hope and, above all, patience and believe that you can do everything as fully as before. For me, my shoulder was now much better than ever after the whole procedure and still is.
From an operation I would personally advise against, because often you have permanent damage. Also, it is not necessary in many cases. Personally, I believe in the inherent self-healing powers that dorm each of us. You just have to perceive them and activate and support them, then everything will be fine again.
