Abstract

The pain in the shoulder is a very unpleasant pain that limits the movement in the shoulder. This pain
is characteristic for people after 40 years of age, but the reasons can be of different nature. Although patients
sometimes think the pain will resolve with rest, if they wait too long it may result with the syndrome ‘frozen
shoulder’. The Traditional Chinese Medicine sees the shoulder pain as a Bi syndrome caused by invasion of
external pathogenic factors such as cold, wind, dampness and phlegm, which obstruct the channels and
collaterals and disturb the flow of the Qi and blood. In this research are included 23 patients, 14 male and 9
female, on age from 19 to 77, all with symptoms of shoulder pain. All patients were treated with fire needle
acupuncture, with duration of the treatment of maximum 10 minutes. All the symptoms that patients complained
about before were gone after certain number of treatments
