Six months ago, when my arm was so sore that I could not reach and hold a milk jar in the refrigerator. It was therefore to my overjoy when I noticed that I could do the shoulder hold in a folk dance session few days ago.
My first trip to the chiropractor was in May hoping he would teach me few techniques to minimize the pain. Instead, he made a diagnosis and concluded that I had a shoulder rotators-cuff problem; recommending a MRI and a surgery to resolve the issue.
I refused, then made an appointment to my general practice physician office. A physician assistant confirmed that I had a rotators-cuff, but recommended a physical therapy. She also prescribed a locally-applied anti-inflammatory ointment for me to apply on the shoulder, plus some ice therapy.
After the ice and few physical therapy, I feel the pain was about 30-40% improved but was still unable to do more demanding for the the shoulder suppose to do.
The biggest improvement came from my regular practice of few Yoga move, such as dower-dog, Plank, crocodile, and mountain-climber poses, the improvement is readily visible. This is how I see the rotators-cuff problems substantial improvement.
The problems are not completely gone; but I can do regular staff with my right shoulder. I share my healing experience with my readers so that they can learn few tips from my experience.
