Accupuncture - Frozen Shoulder Posted by Xpatwife (473 days ago) Hi - I have recently moved to Hong Kong and unfortunately have 2 frozen shoulders. Can someone please recommend a doctor to treat my shoulders. Has anyone had the same problem and had it sucessfully treated here? (I am based in Hong Kong) Find what you are after in our Vietnam A-Z Directory  Posted by jcheung (473 days ago) TCM stands for Traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is a branch of TCM. Every licensed acupuncturist in Hong Kong are registered TCM practitioners, having said that, not every acupuncturist prescribes chinese medicine to their clients. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Bruce33 (471 days ago) I have a frozen shoulder since 8 month and have tried TCM and Accupuncture, both didn't work at all. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Havefaith (471 days ago) There are other TCM treatments for a frozen shoulder - e.g. cupping, scrapping and fire treatments. I have tried the three treatments above for my bad shoulder and they have worked. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by jcheung (471 days ago) Unlike western medicine which has fairly standard treatment protocols for different disease, acupuncture is practiced quite differently by different acupuncturists – leading to different treatment results. Some acupuncturists practice the so call ‘electro-acupuncture’ while others only ‘acupuncture(no electro)’. Some may use moxibustion as well while others do not. Even moxibustion is used, if the clinic is located in a modern office under central AC, then the ‘smokeless’ moxibustion has to be used instead of the traditional type which is very smoky (but far more effective !). Only a few acupuncturists apply ‘thermal-needle moxibustion’ while the majority of HK acupuncturists do not practice such technique – which is very effective for chronic muscle pain and ‘cool/cold-type’ diseases. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Lime (471 days ago) I was sucessfully treated by a manipulative physiotherapist last year.His name is Luck Li and his practice is in Central on Chiu Lung St. He speaks excellent English and was trained in Australia. Phone number 2899 2280. Get it seen to soon as it just gets worse if you leave it. Good luck! (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by ohga (471 days ago) There is an acupuncturist in Central called Troy Sing - an Australian guy. He treated my friend who had suffered with a severe frozen shoulder and who had tried everything under the sun. Seeing him was the only thing that helped and after several sessions there was gradual resolution. I'm really sorry but I don't have his number. He is very highly regarded amongst many people I know. I'm sure you could get his no. through (directory enquiries). I wish you well as I know you must be in agony! (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Xpatwife (470 days ago) Thank you for all the replies. Thumbs pinched, one of the above will be the answer to my problem. :) (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Tidings 2 (470 days ago) He is listed here under Hong Kong A-Z in the Accupuncture section. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Aqua2468 (469 days ago) Frozen shoulder: try Naresh Kumar at the IMI (www.imi.com.hk) Heard that he has treated it successfully. Good luck! (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by mhabitat (469 days ago) Surf the Net under "adhesive capsulitis" and you'll find everything you need to know about "frozen shoulder". I had it 4-5 years ago, had to quit playing tennis as a result. The doctor is right: Its cause is unknown, there is no cure, it takes time to resolve on its own. In my case it took almost a year! Meanwhile try to exercise the affected shoulder (very) gently in every direction as much as you can. This will actually help it recover. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain if necessary. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by Tidings 2 (469 days ago) As much of an advocate of accupunture I am, it is really not a cure - it gives relief of symptoms............now that can be good enough for some problems. It's worth a try but it is no cure all. (I am based in Hong Kong) Posted by sandydee (464 days ago) also Sutherland Chan centre in Central. It's a massage therapist centre. They helped a friend of mine understand what frozen shoulder was and she got results but it is a very gradual process (I am based in Hong Kong) |
