What to do if you have shoulder and neck pain? You need to know these methods

Shoulder and neck pain is a symptom. Many diseases may cause shoulder and neck pain, and it may also be related to people’s daily work. Regarding the issue of what to do about shoulder and neck pain, the most common way to relieve it is massage, and acupoint massage is very effective.

1. Houxi Point - This is a point on the Small Intestine Meridian, located on the outside (ulnar side) of the little finger, that is, at the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint. You can stand with your palm sideways and massage the acupoints on the edge of the table. Back pain, neck fatigue, and eye pain can be quickly relieved.

2. Lieque point - cross your hands naturally, and press the index finger of one hand on the radial styloid process of the other hand, 1.5 inches above the transverse wrist crease. The depression touched by your fingertips is it. Headaches, stiff neck and other uncomfortable symptoms can be relieved. There is a saying in the song about the Four General Acupoints that one should look for Lieque on the head and neck.

3. Weizhong Point - Located in the middle of the popliteal fossa of the knee, it is the He point of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang. It is the meeting point of the two branches of the Bladder Meridian coming from the waist and back. It is an important acupuncture point for treating waist and back diseases.

4. Traction method : Through the mutual balance between traction and counter-traction, the head and neck are relatively fixed in the physiological curve state, so that the phenomenon of cervical vertebrae curve irregularity is gradually changed, but its efficacy is limited and it is only suitable for patients with mild symptoms.

5. Physiotherapy : Physiotherapy is the abbreviation of physical therapy. It is the application of various natural and artificial physical factors, such as sound, light, electricity, heat, magnetism, etc., to the human body to achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases.

6. Oral medication: Oral medications are absorbed, digested, and decomposed through the stomach and intestines, and finally circulate through the blood before they can be delivered to the local area. The entire process requires passing through layers of barriers to reach the lesion site, but the efficacy of the medication is already very limited, so the effect is extremely slow and inefficient. In addition, the clinical application of these methods can only relieve pain symptoms, functional rehabilitation is irreversible, and bone repair is out of the question.
