What Is a Frozen Shoulder?
10. Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective alternative treatment option for those with frozen shoulder. Acupuncture is a treatment that is about 5,000 years old. It is still being used to cure many diseases, specifically for chronic joint pain. It is a method where very thin needles are used to pierce certain spots of the body for pain relief or for the treatment of a specific problem. The needles are disposable and made from stainless steel.
The World Health Organization (WHO), American Medical Association (AMA), and National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) have declared that acupuncture can be effective for the treatment of various diseases. Several studies have found that frozen shoulder would be more effectively treated with a combination of shoulder exercises and acupuncture.
