How painful! Hyaluronic acid relieves shoulder and neck pain

"Light of Taiwan" Wang Jianmin's shoulder and neck joint pain caused by sports injury has aroused enthusiastic attention from fans. In fact, shoulder and neck joint pain is also a common clinical symptom in orthopedics. When it comes to shoulder pain, everyone's first reaction must be to think of 50 shoulders, but in fact, the pathological mechanism is mostly caused by "rotator cuff". At present, injection of hyaluronic acid can relieve long-term pain and make patients get better quality of life and care.

Hyaluronic acid has the therapeutic effects of diminishing inflammation, relieving pain, improving lubrication and preventing adhesion, and it is very safe. Long-term use will not produce less side effects like steroids and anti-inflammatory painkillers. (Photo/Zhang Shijie) Deng Xiuguo, an attending orthopedic physician at Guotai Hospital, said that the shoulder joint is the joint with the greatest mobility in the human body. To maintain great mobility and make heavy-duty movements, such as throwing a fastball of 65,438+050 miles, a special tendon system is needed, which is called rotator shoulder muscle group.

The rotator cuff muscle group contains four intramuscular tissues, including supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor. Because this muscle group tightly surrounds the shoulder joint, it is also called "rotator cuff". The origin of the name "rotator muscle" is because the shoulder can make all kinds of complicated movements and rotations through the synergy of these four muscles, hence the name.

Deng Xiuguo, an attending physician in orthopedics at Guotai Hospital, said that tendon rupture in the elderly is mostly related to degeneration, which is often caused by years of use. Early mild symptoms of tendon rupture, such as pain and limited activity, are often ignored. After a long time, the tear will expand, and the degree of shoulder joint activity will get worse and worse, and finally it will not be lifted at all.

Early mild symptoms of tendon rupture, such as pain and limited activity, are often ignored. After a long time, the mobility of the shoulder joint will get worse and worse, and finally it will not be lifted at all. The diagnosis of this kind of disease has its clinical difficulties, because the symptoms are often not specific, and the traditional X-ray examination can't see the tendon lesions. In the past, it was necessary to examine the joints by radiography, but it was necessary to inject the developer into the joint cavity, which was an invasive examination.

Now mainly rely on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although there is good tendon development, it is expensive and time-consuming. Fortunately, with the development of soft tissue ultrasound, clinicians can quickly and correctly diagnose this disease in outpatient department and further decide the treatment policy.

Dr. Deng Xiuguo said that the treatment of rotator cuff, in the early stage of oppression or tendinitis, is mainly conservative treatment, focusing on rebuilding activity, muscle strength and shoulder stability training; If patients with severe symptoms are supplemented by oral drugs or intra-articular injections, such as hyaluronic acid preparation, about 80% of patients can be cured by conservative treatment.

Long-term use will not produce less side effects like steroids and anti-inflammatory painkillers. Nowadays, hyaluronic acid for shoulder joint has been approved by the Department of Health, which will relieve the pain of patients with "shoulder" pain.
