Then shake it in the direction of front down, front up, back up and back down.

2. What is the disease of shoulder pain?
(1) scapulohumeral periarthritis
There are many reasons for shoulder pain. The most common is what people often say is fifty shoulders and scapulohumeral periarthritis, which is scapulohumeral periarthritis. About 50 years old is the age of high incidence. In fact, scapulohumeral periarthritis in a broad sense includes lesions in muscles, tendons, synovial bursa and joint capsule, and is not a single disease. At present, scapulohumeral periarthritis has been gradually replaced by a specific disease name.
(2) shoulder muscle spasm
Muscle spasm in the shoulder may cause shoulder pain. If you work at your desk for a long time and frequently lift heavy objects in your daily life and work, your shoulder muscles will remain tense for a long time and have to react through pain.
(3) Cervical spondylosis
Cervical spondylosis may also cause shoulder pain. This is because there is a cervical nerve next to the cervical vertebra. When there is a problem with the cervical spine, such as hyperosteogeny of the cervical spine, it may compress the cervical nerve, and this feeling is transmitted through the nerve. At this time, shoulder pain may occur.
(4) Heart disease
The most absurd and dangerous cause of shoulder pain may be heart disease. This is because the sensory nerves that dominate the heart and shoulders use a nerve channel when transmitting feelings to the brain. It is difficult for the brain to tell where this feeling comes from, so when the heart is sick, it may make the brain mistakenly think that the pain comes from the shoulder. Such an oolong is not uncommon in the human body.
(5) What about shoulder pain?
Self-rehabilitation therapy
If it is scapulohumeral periarthritis and shoulder muscle spasm, self-rehabilitation treatment can be carried out. This kind of person's illness is usually caused by long-term strain, so it is necessary to exercise the neck, shoulders and waist frequently, such as rotating, twisting, cutting and drawing circles.
Exercise: Stand well and swing your hands straight at both sides of your body, from small to large, 30 at a time and do it three times a day.
Circle movement: symbolically face a wall, with one hand straight, and the left and right hands alternately draw circles on the wall, 30 at a time and do it three times a day.
Doctor-directed treatment
If you suffer from cervical spondylosis, heart disease or other systemic diseases and shoulder pain caused by trauma, you need medical treatment or surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
3. What should I do if my shoulder hurts when I blow the air conditioner?
(1) Why?
Western medicine: pain caused by heat expansion and cold contraction of blood vessels and muscles.
From the point of view of modern medicine, summer is hot, and the patient's body surface temperature is high after outdoor activities, and the subcutaneous blood vessels dilate. At this time, he entered the air-conditioned room, the temperature suddenly dropped, the skin perspiration function was abnormal, and perspiration was reduced, resulting in the retention of metabolites that should have been excreted through sweat in the body.
In addition, there may be more or less poor blood circulation in the pain or lesion area. Once caught cold, the skin blood vessels contract sharply, and the functions of local blood circulation and nervous system are affected. It is also easy to cause metabolites to stay in the body, and then induce waist pain, swelling and stiffness of waist muscles.
Not only blood vessels, but also muscles will expand with heat and contract with cold. When you are cold, your muscles contract and cause pain. Usually, even if you don't touch the cold, muscle tension and contraction for a long time will cause pain. Pain, in turn, will cause muscle tension and contraction, which will further aggravate the pain. Such a vicious circle.
Traditional Chinese medicine: cold stagnation, meridian impassability, impassability will be painful.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, this is related to colds. Chinese medicine believes that heaven and man are integrated and correspond to each other. Throughout the year, cold, hot and cool are orderly, and everyone's physical condition will change with the climate change.
Summer is a sunny time. The yang of the human body diverges upward and outward. As a result, when the air conditioner blows, cold air comes, and the yang of our human body cannot be dispersed, which violates the laws of nature. Chinese medicine calls it meridian point occlusion, that is, hair hole occlusion. So we went to the air-conditioned room and stopped sweating.
(2) How to treat and relieve it?
Lighter, where the pain is applied.
The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is also simple and direct. If neck, shoulder, back and leg pain is caused by cold, warm yang to dispel cold, and dredge channels to relieve pain. The most direct and simple method is hot compress, where it hurts. You don't need to pay special attention to acupuncture points.
Method: For example, if your neck hurts, you can wrap two layers of towels in a hot water bag at 80-90 degrees Celsius and put them on your neck for hot compress.
Note: it should be noted that it will definitely be more comfortable after hot compress, but some patients will have recurrent attacks and then feel pain after insufficient. That's because the cold pathogen is too heavy, the disease is too deep and the symptoms are too serious. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor for treatment in this case.
(3) Pinch your neck every day
You can also massage yourself at home every day to relieve the pain.
Generally, the pain caused by air conditioning is mainly in two places, one is the cervical vertebra and the other is the waist.
Methods: For the cervical vertebra, you can move the muscles on both sides of the neck with your fingers, which is the legendary upper trapezius muscle bundle. Pay attention to the lateral movement.
There is also the waist, where you can pat, press and rub, and where it hurts, you can pat, press and rub around.
It should be reminded that these massage techniques are only very simple auxiliary treatments.
(4) Shoulder and neck scraping when sitting.
first
Apply scraping medium, such as scraping oil, evenly to the neck, and then rub the flat surface of the scraping plate on the skin until it feels hot. People who are scratched must keep relaxed.
then
First, scrape it from the middle of the neck, and scrape it down from Fengfu point of the neck to Taodao point under the Dazhui with a scraper of water horn; Scrape it from both sides of Tianzhu Dumb Gate to Fengmen Cave. The scraper should be evenly downward at an angle of 45 degrees, and gradually exert force from light manipulation to medium manipulation. During the whole scraping process, the scraping plate should have a force penetrating into the skin, and each scraping band should be scraped 15-30 times.
finally
Then scrape from bilateral Fengchi point to Jianjing point, and press and knead Fengchi point and Jianjing point. Scrape your neck lightly, 15-30 times.
(5) Pat your arm to stop the shoulder and neck pain.
Hand Taiyang Small Intestinal Meridian is one of the twelve meridians. Its trunk starts from the edge of the little finger, passes along the ulnar side through the palm and the back of the arm to the shoulder joint, bypasses the scapula, turns forward to the supraclavicular fossa, goes deep into the body cavity, and goes down to the small intestine. In addition, there are branches that enter the eyes and ears. This acupoint is mainly used to treat five sense organs diseases, diarrhea, abdominal distension and shoulder and neck pain. For sedentary people, patting the small intestine meridian along the arm to the shoulder can relieve the pain and stiffness of the shoulder and back. In daily health care, Houxi point and pension point are more important.
(6) the best method of prevention
Especially white-collar workers who sit in front of computers for a long time can't keep a fixed posture for a long time when they work in air-conditioned rooms. It takes at most 40 minutes to 1 hour to stand up and move joints, such as cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and shoulder joints. This is the simplest and most effective prevention method.
First, use air conditioners as little as possible.
Second, when using the air conditioner, set the temperature higher, for example, above 26 degrees.
Third, when using the air conditioner, don't let the cold air from the air conditioner blow directly on people.
Fourth, ensure a certain amount of exercise and enhance physical fitness.
