Treatment of scapular pain

The treatment of scapula pain includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment, among which conservative treatment is the main treatment method, few need surgery, most scapula pain is caused by inflammation of muscle fascia around scapula, muscle relaxation can be achieved through manual massage, active activities of shoulder joint and scapula can be done more, muscle fatigue and spasm can be improved, and pain relief can be achieved. Local application of anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment or oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs can also be used to control pain. If the pain recurs, you should look for the cause of the pain. Most common causes of headache include cervical and shoulder joint diseases and nerve compression. Cervical scapula pain often manifests as neck discomfort, accompanied by pain at the inner edge of the scapula. Cervical X-rays and MRI should be taken. If it is confirmed that cervical spine problems are caused, traction and nutritional nerve treatment can be done. Shoulder joint disease often causes pain on the back or upper side of the scapula. It is caused by inflammation of the rotator cuff muscles. MRI can confirm the diagnosis. If the inflammation in the shoulder joint is caused, it can be closed. If the rotator cuff tendon is torn, it should be repaired surgically. Pain on the medial edge of the scapula may also be caused by compression of the dorsal scapular nerve. Electromyography should be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Compression of the dorsal scapular nerve can be closed around the neck nerve. If block therapy still does not provide complete remission, surgery may be performed to release the nerve.
