Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Scapular pain may be caused by trauma, periarthritis, or other reasons. If proper care is not taken in daily life and the scapula suffers a bump or impact, it may result in pain. If the injury is mild, heat application may help relieve symptoms; however, if fractures or similar conditions occur, prompt medical attention is necessary. Scapular pain may also stem from shoulder periarthritis, which can be triggered by degenerative changes, prolonged overuse, or other factors, leading to symptoms such as shoulder pain and restricted movement. Pain relief medications may be used under a doctor's guidance, and surgical treatment may be required when necessary.
