Treatment of shoulder joint effusion

1. Massage therapy:

(1) Pushing and kneading acupressure method: The patient lies on his back and kneads the right shoulder from top to bottom along the tendons for 1 to 2 minutes. (2) Shoulder extension method: The patient's position is the same as above, with muscles relaxed. The doctor first gently flexes and extends the shoulder back and forth in a small range, and finally tries to fully flex the shoulder, and then straightens the patient's shoulder. (3) Scraping and dividing tendons: The patient lies on his back and uses one thumb to flex the knuckles on the upper and lower outer sides of the shoulder and place them on the inside of the painful point. The other palm is placed on the flexed thumb and the arm strength is used to push the thumb outward and scrape several times. (4) When there is fluid accumulation in the shoulder, you can use pounding, pounding, and patting methods alternately. The punch is a real fist, and the strike is an empty fist. Flex and extend the shoulder 20 to 30 times each, then use your fists to press down on the same part of the body as above, and repeat 1 to 2 times. When clapping, don't use your fists but your palms, and use the strength of your wrists to bounce the ball.

2.Puncture therapy:

When there is a lot of joint effusion and tension is high, joint puncture can be performed to completely drain the effusion and blood, and sodium hyaluronate, which is the main component of synovial fluid, can be injected into the joint cavity. Studies have shown that various pathological changes in arthritis are closely related to its reduction and changes in physical and chemical properties. The injection of sodium hyaluronate has the following effects: covering the surface of articular cartilage, which can protect the articular cartilage and prevent or delay further degeneration; protecting the synovial membrane of the joint, removing pain-causing substances, and significantly reducing pain; improving the contracture state of the joint and increasing the mobility of the joint; and improving the synovial fluid of the degenerative joint.

3. Drug treatment:

In the acute phase of synovial injury and blood stasis, the treatment is mainly to disperse blood stasis, promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. Panax notoginseng powder can be taken orally. Chronic retention of water and dampness, and weakened muscles and tendons can be treated by dispelling wind and dampness, and strengthening muscles and tendons. Take Qianghuo Shengshi Decoction with modifications internally, and apply Gou Pi Gao externally. If the cold evil is more severe, you can also dispel the cold, wind and dampness, and use Wutou Decoction.
