Suggest treatment for mild pain in the shoulders
Patient: About a year ago, I started feeling a mild pain when I would shrug my shoulders, rolling my collarbone forward. It is only on the left. I thought the pain was coming from the clavicle itself but now I realize it must be the muscles through my neck and shoulders, too. I didn t address it because I assumed it was from sleeping funny and would resolve on its own. Instead, a year later the pain has gotten worse but still only when I am making a lifting, shrugging motion. It s probably not anything so serious but my dad had thyroid cancer and good old web md listed that as a possibility of this type of discomfort. I will make a doctor s appt but in the meantime would appreciate input. Thanks. Doctor: HiiiIf the symptoms are continuously getting worse then please meet your physician as early as you can. If your physician say that this is just muscular spasm or pain then with your history I can revealed that you nay have many trigger points on your left side collar and neck muscles. The following are the treatment method you can choose:Self Treatment :- Take any tennis ball and then roll the same on your collar muscles with moderate pressure. Repeat 15 - 20 times. After that you may have some soreness that will be relieved within one or two day. It can give you good relief but can't cure completely.Physiotherapy:- There are many techniques are available in Physiotherapy to relieve the same pain like MFR, Myokinetic Release, IASTM and Fascial manipulation. But the best method to cure the same completely is Dry Needling Technique. Please visit only well experienced therapist if you choose Dry Needling as a treatment choice.Thank You
