Back Pain - What Role Does The Shoulder Play?

Back Pain - What Role Does The Shoulder Play?

When thinking about spine health, and back pain, very few people would consider that the shoulder could play a role. However, the shoulder is a unique joint, and is not just the point where the upper arm is attached to the body! The upper arm attaches to the glenoid, a part of the scapula (the shoulder blade), which itself is attached to the ribs by a number of different muscles. The shoulder is inherently unstable, and the sedentary lives we lead is increasing this instability, which itself impacts spine stability.

In this episode we introduce the shoulder joint, and shoulder anatomy, as well as demonstrating the role it can play in spine health. We discuss the joint as a ‘joint complex’, which is stabilised (fixed) by a number of muscles. We highlight how stabilising the shoulder blade to the ribs should be a primary focus in stabilising the shoulder, and how this is often overlooked. We also discuss how the lives that we lead is impacting shoulder stability as we develop a more rounded posture with resultant muscles imbalances that need to be corrected. We also highlight that in modern society some key movements have been lost from our daily routine, and how this is having an impact.
