Abstract
Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder is an acute or chronic shoulder disorder that is caused by calcium deposits in the tendons of the rotator cuff.It affects people between the ages of 30 to 50 years. A 38-year-old Asian woman was diagnosed with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, and she was suffering from excruiciating pain and loss of shoulder function. The biomedical treatments did not alleviate her pain or recover her range of motion. After receiving five treatments utilizing direct moxibustion for eight days, she achieved pain relief and regained full range of motion at the shoulder. She has not experienced any recurrence. Direct moxibustion may be a useful intervention in the treatment of pain and mobility and warrants further study.
