Homeopathy for a calcified shoulder

The calcified shoulder can also be treated homeopathically. The goal of homeopathy is to treat the same with the same. Basically it is assumed that substances which are harmful or can cause diseases in larger quantities, but have a healing effect in smaller doses by stimulating the body’s own defences.

Each homeopathic remedy is assigned to certain clinical pictures and types of persons, so that it must always be decided individually which remedy is best suited in which potency. In the following some of the proven remedies are listed. Lycopodium (lycopodium) is mainly used when the disease is characterized by tearing, pulling pain in the shoulder joint, which occurs most severely in the late afternoon.

Calcium phosporicum is used when, in addition to the pain, there is also tremor in the arms and hands, which may indicate a lack of calcium. Solanum malacoxylon (a plant from the nightshade family native to South America) is used when the diagnosis of calcified shoulder is clearly established and the model is characterized by severe pain with the slightest movement.

OP for a calcified shoulder

An operation of the calcified shoulder is considered when the patient’s suffering is very high and all other therapy methods have not shown satisfactory results. The aim of the operation is to remove the excess calcium deposit in order to relieve the pain and restore mobility. Usually the operation is performed arthroscopically, which means that the surgeon will operate through 2 small incision channels.

This minimally invasive procedure avoids larger operation wounds and reduces the healing time. The surgeon will first obtain an overview of the location and extent of calcification and then remove it with the help of special equipment. Finally, the joint is rinsed out.

After the operation, the shoulder may be moved freely as long as the wound pain permits. In the first days and weeks after the operation, the doctor will usually prescribe physiotherapy to restore the patient’s shoulder’s full range of motion and ability to bear weight. Massage techniques to reduce swelling and improve mobility are also used to get the patient used to a flawless posture as quickly as possible. After completion of the physiotherapeutic treatment, the patient can continue to perform the exercises learned there at home so that new problems do not arise.
