(Calcific tendinitis) Left shoulder pain relief manual therapy review

What is manual therapy?

It is a natural therapy that uses the hands or parts of the body to relax and correct the spine, joints, muscles, and ligaments, removing nerve compression, and utilizing the innate healing power from the brain to treat and prevent diseases. It helps restore to the original state, improve function, alleviate pain, and correct physical imbalances.

Have you ever received manual therapy?

I have received chiropractic treatment for my lower back for a long time.

I hurt my lower back twice while repotting plants, so I received treatment at both a Korean medicine clinic and an orthopedic clinic for quite a long time.

But this time, it was your first time receiving shoulder manual therapy.

The initial symptom was felt while sleeping. I didn't notice it when lying on my left side, but when I turned to my right side to sleep.

The area where the shoulder and arm meet started to ache lightly, and then the pain gradually intensified.

At first, I started lightly with option 2, but I left it unattended for almost a month, thinking "It'll get better eventually."

In about a month, I will be quite sick about 8 times.

I was eating at the hospital cafeteria for lunch, but I started experiencing pain so severe that I couldn't eat.

So I think I ate while keeping my arm close to my side.

Since that day, I received manual therapy at the neurosurgery department.

The reason I switched from receiving treatment at the orthopedic department to the neurosurgery department this time is

I went because of my mom's friend's recommendation.

My neighborhood's neurosurgery department is newly opened, and after chiropractic treatment, they recommended it because the effects are very good.

The diagnosis from the hospital is calcific tendinitis.

Calcific tendinitis is a condition where calcium deposits accumulate in the rotator cuff tendons, similar to stones or gallstones, forming abnormal calcifications inside the body. It most commonly occurs in the supraspinatus muscle of the rotator cuff and is frequently seen in people in their 30s to 60s.

It was really fortunate that I went to the hospital quickly. Calcific tendinitis is a condition that causes pain enough to be called a "chemical boil."

Calcium deposits form in the rotator cuff tendons, causing inflammation and pain simultaneously.

If it persists for a long time, it can also be accompanied by a tear in the shoulder tendon, so visit the hospital for a simple shoulder pain check.

I recommend that you receive medical treatment.

So, I also received the injection therapy. After confirming the tendon through ultrasound examination, I received the injection from the back side towards the shoulder. This also caused tremendous pain during the injection, as you can feel the sensation when the needle goes in.

The calcification aspiration procedure using a syringe directly removes the calcification and utilizes a non-steroidal analgesic injection.

It is a treatment that alleviates inflammation and pain, and it also helps in the recovery of damaged tendons through collagen injections.

Advantages and Features of Manual Therapy

1. The treatment effect appears immediately.
2. It is a relatively safe treatment.
3. Precise treatment of the pain site is possible.
4. Since treatment is done manually, personalized treatment tailored to each individual is possible.

5. Chronic neck and shoulder pain improves

6. Posture correction and body shape correction effects

7. Personalized treatment available for each patient

If I had to choose the biggest advantage of manual therapy, it would be "personalized treatment tailored to each patient."

There are painful areas on the patients' bodies, so we provide customized manual therapy for each area, and also until the next treatment.

They also tell me many simple exercises I can do.

Treatment feels almost like homework for exercise~

Certainly, I received chiropractic treatment once a week, and I also diligently did my homework, so my improvement happened much faster.

Manual therapy rehabilitation stage

Step 1

Pain-free joint range of motion, delayed muscle contraction, reduction of pain and inflammation

Exercises to prevent limited joint range of motion caused by adhesions in the joint after injury and surgery

Step 2

Muscle recovery and improvement, normalization of joint movements, enhancement of neuromuscular control

Exercises to stabilize unstable joints

Stage 3

Strength, power, endurance improvement, neuromuscular control

Performance-focused exercises for daily life for the general public and for returning to the field for athletes.

I am currently giving a hot massage occasionally.

This is a hot pack purchased for shoulder use.

If you microwave this hot pack for about 8-10 minutes on each side,

It's very hot. After unzipping and inserting the hot pack,

It can be worn on the shoulder, and it's very easy to use, so I really like it.

I'll inform you about the symptoms of calcific tendinitis.

🚩 Suddenly experiencing shoulder pain without any prior issues

🚩 I feel a dull ache or stabbing pain in my arm.

🚩 The pain is so severe at night that it's difficult to sleep.

Sometimes the pain appears and disappears repeatedly.

🚩 Difficult to lift arms forward or to the side
