Pain in the shoulder blade area may be caused by chronic strain. A common cause of such discomfort is poor posture; prolonged work or activities involving a lowered head position may lead to sustained stress on the muscles around the shoulder blades, resulting in chronic strain and even pain. Secondly, if a patient experiences chronic, recurrent pain in the shoulder blade region, it is important to determine whether there is an underlying local pathology affecting the shoulder blade.
