At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we use a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to effectively support recovery from Scapulohumeral Periarthritis, commonly known as Frozen Shoulder. Our therapies focus on reducing pain, improving joint mobility, and restoring healthy function to the shoulder.
From a TCM perspective, frozen shoulder is often caused by Qi and blood stagnation, cold-damp invasion, or meridian blockage around the shoulder joint. By restoring circulation and unblocking the meridians, we help your shoulder recover naturally and safely.
Our TCM Treatment Methods
1. Acupuncture for Pain Relief & Mobility
Our registered practitioners use carefully selected acupuncture points around the shoulder, upper back, and neck to:
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Improve Qi and blood flow
- Relax deep muscles and tendons
- Restore shoulder movement and reduce stiffness
Many patients experience noticeable improvement within a few sessions.
2. Electro-Acupuncture for Enhanced Results
For chronic stiffness or severe pain, electro-acupuncture provides:
- Stronger muscle activation
- Reduced inflammation
- Break-up of soft tissue adhesions
- Longer-lasting relief of nerve and tendon pain
This is one of our most effective methods for improving range of motion.
3. Cupping Therapy to Release Tension
We apply sliding or stationary cupping to the deltoid, scapular region, and upper back to:
- Increase local circulation
- Loosen tight fascia and muscles
- Reduce adhesions that limit movement
- Improve arm lifting and rotation
Cupping often provides immediate relief from tightness.
4. Mr.Yu Special Massage & Joint Mobilisation
Our Speical massage techniques gently stretch and mobilise the shoulder joint to:
- Relax contracted muscles
- Improve joint lubrication
- Release knots and trigger points
- Boost overall shoulder flexibility
This is especially helpful for patients with very restricted movement.
5. Moxibustion
For cold-induced or chronic conditions, we use warming moxibustion to:
- Warm the meridians
- Reduce stiffness
- Enhance blood flow
Your Expected Results
With a customised treatment plan, patients often experience:
- Reduced shoulder pain
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Easier lifting and daily movement
- Relief from night pain and better sleep
- Gradual recovery from frozen or stiff shoulder
Whether your condition is recent or chronic, our integrated TCM treatments can significantly improve your shoulder function and quality of life.
