Shoulder blade and back pain
Are you experiencing any of these symptoms due to shoulder blade or back pain?
I have stiffness, pain, and discomfort in my neck, shoulder blades, and back.
The area inside the shoulder blades tends to get stiff.
I experience pain around my spine while working at my desk or when I wake up in the morning.
Poor posture, such as having a straight neck or hunched back, can easily cause pain.
Massage and beauty treatments do not improve the symptoms.
Please rest assured.
This applies not only to the shoulder blades and back, but to the entire body: the human body is not designed for using smartphones or doing desk work.
Staying in the same position for a long time may seem to put less strain on the muscles because you're not moving, but the core muscles, which are the inner muscles, and the muscles that support your head are constantly working and under tension in order to maintain your posture.
If this condition persists, blood flow to the tense muscles will worsen, leading to pain in the shoulder blades and back.
Treatment for shoulder blade and back pain at Karada Kenkyujo Acupuncture and Osteopathic Clinic
The muscles causing shoulder blade and back pain are often not just superficial muscles , but also deep muscles.
At our clinic, we carefully examine each muscle suspected of causing the symptoms through palpation to determine which muscle is causing the pain, and then address it with acupuncture or manual therapy.
It's no exaggeration to say that the outcome of these types of treatments depends heavily on the therapist's skill.
Therefore, if treatment misses the mark or only superficial muscle massages are performed, symptoms often do not improve.
Shoulder blade and back pain are often deeply related to pelvic and spinal misalignment , so simply massaging the shoulders and neck where you feel stiffness or pain will not provide a fundamental solution.
In addition to treating the muscles causing the problem, we also teach proper body mechanics and breathing techniques to prevent recurring shoulder blade and back pain.
You can consult with us with confidence, as your treatment will be performed by a professional who specializes in muscles and fascia and excels in trigger point therapy .
Treatment process for shoulder blade and back pain
STEP1
First, we conduct a consultation, followed by a physical examination including palpation and range of motion checks to identify the source of the pain in the muscles, joints, or nerves. We particularly focus on tension in the shoulders, neck, and shoulder blades, as well as checking the posture of the spine and pelvis to pinpoint the cause of the pain.
STEP2
After that, we will explain your physical condition, the treatment plan, and the treatment fees. Once you agree, we will begin the treatment.
STEP3
The causes of pain are diverse, ranging from muscle and fascial pain to joint and nerve pain, but we will provide the most suitable treatment method for each type of pain.
We primarily use manual therapy and acupuncture to address your condition.
[ Trigger point therapy , pelvic correction , exercise therapy (motor control/ Pilates ), breathing techniques]
We will also provide guidance on necessary training and stretching exercises tailored to your physical condition.

Frequently Asked Questions about Treatment for Shoulder Blade and Back Pain
I was told by an orthopedic surgeon that my shoulder blade and back pain is caused by a straight neck, but will it go away?
This is a very common question, but to put it simply, there is definitely room for improvement.
While skeletal models may be one way to go, by reviewing other aspects, we have seen improvements in patients with straight neck syndrome at our clinic.
For example, pain can occur for various reasons, such as oxygen deprivation in the tissues due to shallow breathing during desk work, unnecessary use of force, and the angle of the pelvis and arms. Therefore, it would be a shame to simply give up on treatment just because you have a straight neck.
