Rotator Cuff Syndrome

50 Year old male patient came to see me for right shoulder pain for 3 months. According to his doctor his shoulder pain is due to rotator cuff syndrome without tear. 

He can't raise his shoulder and upon palpation his neck and shoulder muscles are very tight and painful. 

Other signs and symptoms
He wakes up in the mid of night to go to restroom to urinate (1-2x night); low voice tone; slight abdomenal distention with moderate indigestion issues; slightly heavy body type.

Treatment

Kd 3- Sp 3-  

SI6 thru SJ5 added.

After 20 min of treatment ROM for his right shoulder is almost full and pain is almost gone.
