Schulterschmerzen: Diagnostik- und Behandlungsansätze mit Fokus auf Tendinopathien der Rotatorenmanschette

Schulterschmerzen sind ein verbreitetes Phänomen mit unterschiedlichen Ursachen. Manche Schmerzsyndrome sprechen gut auf Akupunkturtechniken an, andere weniger. In manchen Fällen ist es unerlässlich, zusätzlich zur Akupunkturbehandlung rehabilitative Maßnahmen anzuwenden, um die Erfolgschancen zu verbessern und eine Chronifizierung zu vermeiden. Daher ist es wichtig, die Gesamtsituation gründlich abzuklären, um primäre myofasziale Schmerzen, insbesondere von Tendinopathien der Rotatorenmanschette und einer adhäsiven Kapsulitis, zu unterscheiden.
