Abstract
Adhesive capsulitis (AC), is one of the disorders commonly encountered in clinical practice which caused great disability in performing daily activities. The cause of AC is unknown, but its pathogenesis involves shoulder joint capsule synovial tissue inflammation that produces pain and the formation of fibrotic tissue. The forming of fibrotic tissue causes the shrinkage of joint space and limitation in the shoulder range of motion (ROM). Many modalities of treatment had been used to treat AC, but there has been no consensus regarding the best treatment. Acupuncture had been used in the treatment of AC and showed good results, especially in reducing pain and improving ROM. This paper showcased the effects of manual acupuncture using the wide rotation stimulation method, a rarely used technique that has never been published before, in the treatment of AC. In this case report, the wide rotation stimulation method showed great results in reducing pain and improving ROM.
