If you've been struggling with the pain and limitation of frozen shoulder, find your local acupuncturist to get some support today.

Another treatment your acupuncturist may employ for your frozen shoulder is the use of moxibustion. Moxibustion is the burning of a herb called Mugwort above the skin to warm the acupuncture channels and general area.

Research has shown that acupuncture for frozen shoulder can reduce pain, restore shoulder function, and increase range of motion in both the short term and long term.

Symptoms include pain in the shoulder that may be localised or radiate down the arm, as well as reduced range of motion and ability to raise the arms above 90 degrees.
