| Abstract
|
| Peri-omitis is also called “frozen shoulder”, “congealed shoulder” and “omalgia” in Chinese Medicine. TCM theory considered that “the combination of wind, cold and damp causes the arthritis”, and if the arthritis is located at the shoulder, we call it “frozen shoulder”. Quite a few scholars have discussed the frozen shoulder through the disease-cause analysis and the eight-principle syndrome differentiation. The author has considered that it was a better therapeutic method to apply meridian syndrome differentiation. The aggregated analyzing the three important elements of local tenderness, meridians and limited functions to guide the type-differentiation will be benefit for symptom treating, increasing the therapeutic aim and enhancing the curative effect. |
