用傳統中醫理解和治療五十肩
Frozen shoulder, also known as 五十肩, is a condition characterised by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, commonly affecting people around the age of 50. This condition can develop gradually and lead to significant discomfort and limited range of motion. It often results from prolonged immobility, injury, or inflammation.
