Suffering with Frozen Shoulder? Here’s a Natural Remedy

Its called “frozen shoulder” because due to the pain you feel in your shoulder, you are less likely to use that shoulder. And lack of use causes your shoulder capsule to thicken and become tight, making your shoulder even more difficult to move — it’s “frozen” in its position. Pain from frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching. It is typically worse in the early part of the ailment and when you move your arm. The pain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm. Frozen shoulder develops when inflammation causes your shoulder joint capsule to thicken and tighten. Thick bands of scar tissue called adhesions develop over time, and you have less synovial fluid to keep your shoulder joint lubricated. This makes it more difficult for your shoulder to move and rotate properly. You are at a higher risk of developing frozen shoulder if you have had shoulder injury or surgery where you need to hold your shoulder from moving. Using a shoulder brace or sling increases your risk of frozen shoulder. If you have diabetes, there is about a 20% chance of developing frozen shoulder. People with stroke, underactive or overactive thyroid gland, Parkinson’s disease and heart disease are also at higher risk for developing frozen shoulder. Stroke is a risk factor for frozen shoulder because movement of your arm and shoulder may be limited. The usual medical treatment for frozen shoulder is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin and ibuprofen is used to reduce pain and swelling. Cortisone may be used to be injected directly into your shoulder joint. Unfortunately, these drugs carry with them unpleasant side effects such as gastrointestinal issues such as stomach lining irritation, ulcers, and kidney problems, as well as potential cardiovascular and urinary system issues, especially with long-term oral use. There is a better way. In the holistic view, the upper shoulder pain is caused by accumulated dirty blood which has become hard in the surrounding joint and muscles. This leads to a reduced flow in blood circulation at the upper shoulders. HijamaEnergetics sessions stimulate the flow of blood and lymph to the affected area thereby relieving pain and stiffness in the upper shoulders. The procedure extracts toxins, releases tension and moves stagnation. Marks resembling bruising may remain, but they will fade after a few days. Usually, clients will feel some relief on the first treatment, but by third treatment, many people become pain free and have anywhere between 80-100% full flexibility and movement, insha-Allah.
