Assessment Result
Likely Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Your symptoms are consistent with frozen shoulder, a condition where the shoulder capsule thickens and tightens around the joint. This gradually restricts range of motion and causes deep, persistent pain that often worsens at night and in cold environments.
Our TCM practitioners target specific acupoints (Jianyu, Jianliao, Jianzhen) to restore blood and Qi flow through the shoulder capsule. Combined with therapeutic Tui Na massage, this approach loosens adhesions and progressively restores your full range of motion without invasive procedures.

Assessment Result
Likely Rotator Cuff Issue
Your answers suggest a rotator cuff problem, involving the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder. This commonly presents as pain during overhead reaching and arm rotation, often aggravated by physical activity and repetitive movements.
Our treatment protocol combines needle acupuncture to reduce tendon inflammation with cupping therapy to improve local blood circulation. This dual approach accelerates tissue repair in the rotator cuff while relieving the surrounding muscle tension that often develops as a compensation pattern.

Assessment Result
Likely Shoulder Impingement
Your symptom pattern points toward shoulder impingement syndrome, where tendons in the shoulder are compressed during arm movements. This typically causes a sharp pain when reaching overhead or to the side, and often responds well to conservative treatment when addressed early.
Acupuncture targets the subacromial space to reduce swelling and create more room for the tendons to glide freely. Gua Sha therapy breaks up fascial adhesions in the surrounding tissue, and a customized herbal formula works internally to manage inflammation without the side effects of long-term NSAID use.

Assessment Result
Chronic Shoulder Pain
Your responses indicate a chronic shoulder pain pattern that may involve multiple contributing factors. Long-standing shoulder conditions often develop overlapping issues including muscle imbalance, joint degeneration, and disrupted energy flow along the shoulder meridians in TCM terms.
For chronic shoulder conditions, we design an integrated program combining acupuncture, Tui Na, cupping, and a personalized herbal medicine prescription. This comprehensive approach addresses not only the local pain but also the underlying constitutional imbalances that allowed the condition to become chronic. Many patients see meaningful improvement within the first month of consistent treatment.
