Frozen shoulder

---

Acupuncture is an effective treatment option for frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis. Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. 

Here are some ways in which acupuncture can benefit frozen shoulder:

1. Pain relief: Acupuncture can help alleviate pain associated with frozen shoulder by promoting the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.
2. Reduction of inflammation: Acupuncture may help reduce inflammation in the shoulder joint by improving blood circulation and balancing the body's immune response.
3. Increased range of motion: Acupuncture treatment can help loosen tight muscles and tendons, improve joint mobility, and restore the range of motion in the shoulder.
4. Relaxation and stress reduction: Acupuncture sessions promote relaxation and can help manage stress, which may be contributing to muscle tension and exacerbating frozen shoulder symptoms.
