Shoulder Blade Pain Chiropractor | Auto Injury Chiropractic

Aching, burning, or sharp pain between or beneath the shoulder blades is one of the most common upper-back complaints, and a frequent one after a car accident. Chiropractic care treats the usual causes.

What causes it

Shoulder-blade pain often comes from upper-back joint dysfunction, muscle strain, posture, or a pinched nerve. It can also come from the whiplash motion of a crash, which strains the neck and upper back together, so it often appears alongside neck pain.

How chiropractic helps

After an exam, care works to restore motion in the mid- and upper-back joints, release the surrounding muscles with soft-tissue and massage therapy, and address any nerve involvement, treating the pain at its source.
