The main causes of shoulder blade pain when lowering the head include cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, and other shoulder joint disorders. Cervical spondylosis leads to degenerative changes in the cervical spine. When the muscles at the back of the neck are weak, lowering the head may stretch these muscles, causing pain. It is necessary to visit a正规 hospital for examination and take X-ray images to determine the exact condition before personalized treatment can be provided. Additionally, shoulder pain may also result from periarthritis of the shoulder or other shoulder joint diseases.
