Suggestions for ongoing scapula / shoulder pain please

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

For the last two weeks I have had an ongoing constant dull pain / ache in

the area between my left scapular and spinal column and where my back meets

my neck also on the left side.

 

Despite having had a friend try to help with mini-massages on the back and

the neck...it seems to be an ongoing thing. It's aggravated by typing,

washing up.. and any general repetitive movement of my left arm. Today it's

been painful all day even when I don't move at all. I did stretch pose in

Sadhana and am wandering if that's aggravated it too.

 

I've a hunch that perhaps my vertabrae on my neck maybe out of alignment but

can't afford to visit a chiropracter right now.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me re-align my neck myself?

Yogic or otherwise. I'm presuming that it's coming from the neck and that

the cervical spine nerves are those that feed into the muscles of the

shoulder /scapular.

 

 

Any advise much much appreciated.

 

Sat Nam,

 

Krishan-Shiva Kaur

I have a similar problem and I am left handed. Are you?

 

I visited a chinese doctor and had acupuncture and massage this week.

 

I found it very beneficial.

 

Wish you a speedy return to good health

Oops, meant to say that it was on the right side, not left. And I am

right-handed so ofcourse the dominant side moving more aggravates it.

 

Accupuncture sounds good, and in the past few weeks I have occasionally felt

some temporary relief having a friend do shiatsu down the bladder meridian

(those lovely points that run down the back either side of the spinal

column). Unfortunately it's only enough to help me to sleep and then back

it comes again.

 

I can't afford to see a pro such as chiroprator or acupuncturist right now,

and the parecetomol don't seem to be helping either. Thus the search for a

yogic answer.

 

 

Blessings,

Sat Nam,

 

Have a "qualified" friend massage your shoulders. I mean someone who

doesn't just carress the skin but digs deep into the muscles so the stress

can be released. I think everyone needs a friend like this. Be one and

attract one.

Sat Nam,

 

Sorry I read my emails from bottom up. I see you do have such a friend.

There are some neck adjustment exercises in RElax and REnew. How about

offering to trade a KY lesson to a chiropractor. I am sure there is one

that needs KY as much as you need an adjustment. Call and ask.

Sat Nam Krishan Shiva Kaur,

 

I would suggest the "Chi Roller" for your neck/shoulder/scapula pain. It does

sound like some sort of repetitive injury. The Chi Roller realigns by putting

pressure on the major accupressure points in the neck and along the spine. It

is relatively inexpensive $19.95, usually includes free shipping and may be

ordered on-line. A search could bring it up, I think it is

theroadtowellness.com, but I'm not sure. I am an Ayurvedic massage

therapist/Yoga instructor and my students/clients and I love it! You might

also try a homemade still point inducer, using two tennis balls in a sock,

side by side tied tightly...place them under your head directly behind the

eyes for about 15 minutes while deeply relaxing. Wishing you relief...

Namaste,

Rebecca

About a couple of months ago, I sent a mail listing

a set of absolutely non-stressing, yet very simple

and highly effective exercises that could be done

lying in savasana,

to strengthen all the muscles from head to toe with

minimal effort.

Lying in savasana and doing the exercises to

strengthen the neck portion, cuts off the weight of

the head on the neck, making it very safe.
