If you are someone who has been experiencing upper back pain or discomfort or has dealt with it, tell us about your experience in the comments and let us know what you did or are doing to work on it.
In this video, we discuss a root a cause of upper back pain; more specifically, scapula or shoulder blade pain. This symptom is fairly common, likely due to increased periods of sitting at the computer or driving. This can lead to decreased range of motion in the neck and as a result, increased pressure on your cervical spine discs and nerves.
We like to say in our clinic, "The location of the pain, is not necessarily the source of the pain." In this case, the discomfort in the shoulder blade region might not be coming from the muscles surrounding it, but rather the nerves and discs in your neck. In the video, we explain how 2 exercises (cervical retraction and retraction with extension) can be beneficial to you and how to perform them safely. These are just two options to try but not the only things you can do to help alleviate your discomfort.
