Fix Your Rhomboid Pain Quickly And Easily! (Shoulder Blade Discomfort)
Understanding Rhomboid Pain on the Scapula
In this section, the speaker talks about rhomboid pain on the scapula and how it can be caused by referred pain from a completely different area. The speaker explains that the dorsal scapular nerve connects to the rhomboid muscle and levator scapula muscle, and if there's any pressure on that nerve, it can cause discomfort in those areas.
Causes of Rhomboid Pain
- Muscular problems in one part of the body can be referred from a completely different area.
- The dorsal scapular nerve connects to the rhomboid muscle and levator scapula muscle.
- The phrenic nerve goes from the diaphragm to your neck all the way down to the diaphragm. If there's a problem in the diaphragm area, it can send signals back up to your neck and cause tension causing irritation to nerves.
Common Problems Associated with Rhomboid Pain
- Gallbladder problems such as gallstones or bile sludge blocking bile ducts.
- Liver enlargement due to fatty liver or other conditions.
