Especially when I am around 50 years old, my shoulders are particularly painful and I can't lift my shoulders for a few days. This is called scapulohumeral periarthritis.
How to relieve shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain caused by neck discomfort and scapulohumeral periarthritis can be relieved by stimulating shoulder epiphysis point, anterior shoulder point and shoulder acupuncture point (commonly known as shoulder three needles).
Acupoint selection method
Shoulder-epiphysis point: we spread our arms flat, and then the position where the acromion sinks backward is a shoulder-epiphysis point. In other words, when the shoulder is flat, it touches two depressions, and the depression leaning backward is the shoulder-jaw point.
Foreshoulder point: This fold on the shoulder, which is 1.5 inches above the armpit, is called the foreshoulder point.
Shoulder true point: Shoulder true point is on our back, that is, the head of armpit is upward 1 inch.
Stimulation method
Acupoint method: press the acupoints on the shoulder and epiphysis with the thumb pulp, then gradually press hard and deeply, keep it for 5 ~ 6 seconds, then release it, rest for 3 seconds, press it again, and one press and one release is a cycle. Click 5 to 10 minutes.
Massage method: press the position of the acupoints with the thumb pulp, and massage around the acupoints with certain strength for 5 ~ 10 minutes each time.
Mild Moxibustion: After burning the moxa stick, fumigate moxibustion on the skin of the acupoints for about 2-3 cm. Moxibustion lasts 10 ~ 15 minutes each time. Pay attention to the local skin redness at acupoints to stop.
Bird-pecking moxibustion: aim the lit moxa stick at the acupoint and adopt the method of falling together, suddenly approaching and suddenly far away. Like bird pecking, moxibustion lasts about 10 to 15 minutes.
Cupping method: the skin bulge at the cupping site can be tolerated by continuous irrigation at the acupoint for 65,438+00 ~ 65,438+05 minutes.
Application method: If plasters are applied, it is best to apply them on these three points.
