Shoulder blade imbalance is very common both with shoulder symptoms, or without symptoms. Shoulder blade imbalance is when the shoulder blades are not even. One may be higher than the other, one might "wing", or one might be rotated more than the other. This is also known as SICK Scapula or Scapular Dyskinesis. Scapular Dyskinesis is when the scapula or shoulder blades do not move as they should, have poor stabilization, or are imbalanced in movement. It is slightly different than SICK Scapula because it does not involve movement.

Shoulder blade pain can feel like aches/spasms of muscles under the shoulder blade and are often confused as being muscle knots or trigger points. Shoulder blade pain is treatable with exercise therapy, in combination with manual therapy. Often times resolving in weeks to months, depending upon severity.

When we wrote this description, we decided to interview a few people just like you who’ve had shoulder blade pain. They were nice enough to share their stories so we can learn from them.

Case #1
The most enlightening of the interviews was Becky.

She was able to successfully return to full activity (work, yoga, and sleep) after suffering from shoulder blade pain just like you.

Becky has been a nurse for the past 10 years. She works 5 days a week in the hospital, moving patients, charting notes, and educating her patients about how to live a healthy life.

She’s now fully capable of rolling patients over in bed, pushing wheelchairs, and going throughout her day without neck, shoulder blade or arm pain. Sleeps like the dead at night without the assistance of medication of any kind.

But she didn’t always feel this good…

10 years ago, Becky was in grad school when she started to develop light headaches. Most days were mild just a light throbbing ache around the base of her head. Other days her headache would wrap around her head, towards her eyes and travel downward towards her shoulders. She got through most of the day with the help of a frequent self-massage and bi-weekly chiropractic work.

A few years later, her symptoms began to evolve.

Even though she feels great today, she can still recall the details like it was yesterday.

Most days she was in intense pain from the moment she opened her eyes in the morning. Sleeping was terrible due to the fact that it felt like someone was taking a hand drill and boring a hole into her right arm bone all night, directly through her bicep.

Throughout the day, her pain began to increase and creep down into her midback and upper trap area. The pain was so intense at times that she said she would have been “willing to cut her arm off” if it would take the pain away.

She had to stop doing yoga, was unable to sleep at night and considered quitting her job.

Tucking her chin and looking upward at the sky was painful. Looking down to her chest was much better, but still not pain-free. While driving, she could not turn her head to check for cars as she changed lanes. She even bought those little blindspot mirrors so she could safely change lanes.

Sounds intense right? Yet, she was able to overcome it.

What did she do to feel better?

She didn’t get better overnight. She spent months having her neck adjusted and getting massages with very temporary relief.

Eventually, she found a chiropractor specializing in focal soft tissue work help her release a nerve in her neck and shoulder. After that, she began to progressively get better. She looked forward to being able to work without pain and more importantly sleep and do yoga without any issues.

Want to be like Becky?

You can, you just need the correct plan of attack. The human body is truly resilient. You are just as resilient.
