9. Rheumatism
10. Spinal column

1. Pain between shoulder blades due to incorrect posture

In most cases pain between the shoulder blades is caused by a systematic wrong attitude. Muscle pain that manifests itself as pain between the shoulders is usually caused by overload due to a bad (sitting) attitude, repeated movements or lack of strength but also by injuries and accidents. Overloading of the shoulders can be caused by:

• Prolonged same attitude down
• Screening where you have to type many & mice
• "Curve", curved posture (binoculars in supermarket etc.)
• Continuous repeated movements (conveyor belt work, etc.)
• Continuous Driving (Representatives, Drivers, etc.)
• Activities "above your power " (wallpaper, ceilings etc.)
• Wrong ratios of desktop, armrests & backrests

Irritation of the muscles in the shoulders, neck and upper back can cause severe, convulsive pain between the shoulder -
blades. In that case there is usually an appearance of neck and arms.

Tensioning both the muscles cramps and the nerves depressed, causing pain, irritation and stiffness. The solution is often to adjust your attitude (Mensendieck therapy, etc.) or massage (Shiatzu massage, etc.)

2. Pain between the shoulders due to direct nerve pain

In principle, nerves are always responsible for pain. However, there is certain pain that is directly related to your nerves. Thus, certain conditions to your organs can cause inflammatory reactions in your nerves (nerve pain). But your nerves can also be depressed by excessive stress and muscle tension. Below we discuss inter alia pain between the shoulder blades that (directly or indirectly) is caused by tribulation and inflammation of your nerves ...

3. Pain between the shoulder blades due to cardiac arrhythmias

In many cases, an aching pain between your shoulders is related to your heart. In the case of severe, depressive pain behind the sternum that radiates to the shoulders (especially the left shoulder) there may be a severe cardiac arrhythmias. This can eventually lead to a heart attack or cardiac arrest. A cardiologist can detect a cardiac arrhythmias or conduction disorder through a heartbeat (ECG). Your blood is often also checked for blood pressure, blood sugar levels, blood composition (plasma, bodies and platelets) and blood levels (vitamins, minerals, etc.).

A heart rhythm disorder usually does not notice you; Sometimes, however, you can feel extremely powerful, fast, slow or irregular (heart palpitations, extrasystoles, etc.).

4. Pain between the shoulders due to heart weakness and heart failure

Angina Pectoris concerns chest pain that occurs if the heart muscle is not given enough blood. Continuous pain between the shoulders or shoulder blades in combination with angina pectoris often has a bad bleeding of the lower and / or back of the heart. For example, there may be:

• Constriction in the (descending) coronary artery at the front of the heart
• Arteriosclerosis = atherosclerosis
• TAA = dilatation of the aorta (major body artery )
• Valve insufficiency = leaking heart valves
• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) = thickened cardiac muscle

In heart problems, blood clots may develop (thrombosis). A blood clot (thrombus) can cause a heart attack, brain infarction or pulmonary embolism.

A narrowed vein is usually solved by placing a stent in the vein or a balloon catheter viewing operation. Blood clots are usually solved with blood thinners. A seriously leaking heart valve should usually be replaced.

5. Pain between the shoulder blades through lungs and respiratory tract

Acute pain between the shoulders icm pressing chest pain can also be related to your lungs. Thus, shoulder pain may be caused by:

• Pulmonary embolism ( pulmonary artery occlusion )
• Respiratory tract infections ( pneumonia and others)
• Bronchitis (bronchial inflammation)
• Asthma (chronic inflammation of airway mucous membranes)
• Lung emphysema (loss of lung vesicles )
• Long fibrosis (worsening of lung tissue )

If pain between the shoulders is caused by lung-related complaints, there are usually respiratory problems such as tightness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.

6. Pain between the shoulders by "hidden" hyperventilation

Increased pain between the shoulder blades is very often caused by acute or latent hyperventilation. Acute hyperventilation immediately recognizes your accelerated heart rate and respiration. However, most people hyperventilate without labeling; There is then "hidden hyperventilation" or "latent hyperventilation." There are no typical "hyperventilation phenomena" such as rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, oxygen surplus or panic attacks.

Pain between your shoulders can thus be caused by a chronic imbalance, high frequency breathing, which causes you to breathe in and out too often and not deep enough.

Pay attention:

In many cases pain between the shoulder blades is not affected by exercise. In the event of problems with heart and / or lungs, however, the pain usually gets worse after exercise.

7. Pain between shoulder blades by hormones & minerals

The brain (pituitary gland), the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland, the adrenal gland and the pancreas make hormones. A deficiency or surplus of certain minerals can disrupt the production of these hormones, which may cause pain between the shoulders. Some examples of causes of pain between the hormones and minerals are:

• Adrenal dysfunction (adrenal gland or adrenal gland)
• Thyroid abnormality
• Pancreas inflammation
• Pituitary disorder
• Medicines with adrenal gland hormones
• Mineral deficiency or excess (especially potassium, calcium, sodium & magnesium)

Often, hormones or electrolytes may interfere with increased blood pressure. By the way, a vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause a type of nerve pain and muscle ache between the shoulders ...

8. Pain between the shoulder blades through joints

If you experience periodic irritation, pain and / or stiffness between the shoulder blades, it may be advisable to make an appointment with a physiotherapist, chiropractor or manual therapist. Shoulder pain can be caused by a part of your shoulder joint (bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, strap, haircut or mucus). Some examples of pain between the shoulder blades associated with your joints are: muscle twitching, muscle stiffness, joint wear, bruising, joint blockages, frozen shoulder, tendon tendon tendon and tendon tendon.

A doctor or specialist can give you exercises to remedy or relieve pain and stiffness in joint pain in the shoulder ( source ).

9. Pain between the shoulders through rheumatic disease

Pain between the shoulder blades is often caused by a rheumatic disorder (rheumatoid arthritis) of the shoulder joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is a collective name for inflammatory and inflammatory-related disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Rheumatic disorders that can cause pain between the shoulders are:

• Rheumatoid arthritis (chronic joint inflammation)
• Osteoarthritis (inflammation due to wear and loss of cartilage)
• Tietze syndrome ("benign" cartilage inflammation)
• Bechterew's disease (inflammation of the vertebral column)
• Fibromyalgia in the shoulders (weekly parts rheumatism)
• Shoulder bowel inflammation (bursitis)
• Tendonitis (tendinitis)

If you suffer from pain between your shoulder blades, then a GP, physiotherapist, manual therapist or chiropractor should check your joints (bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, tires, haircuts and mucouses) for rheumatism.

10. Pain between shoulder blades through vertebral column

In many cases pain between the shoulders is caused by problems with the spine or spine. Your spine consists of nerve vertebrae, spinal vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, vertebrae and tail vertebrae. Between most vertebrae are vertebral discs. Problems with the vertebrae or spinal cord can cause pain between the shoulder blades. Think about it:

• Wrinkle of vertebrae
• Wear of an intervertebral disc
• Rughernia ( broken bulging disc)
• Poor swirl attachment

In the cavity of the spinal column (spinal cord) is the spinal cord. The spinal cord consists mainly of nerves. Problems with the spine can cause nerves to cling and thus severe, radiating pain may develop between the shoulders.

Pain through the vertebral column (inclination, hernia, wear and tear) is usually in the middle back and radiates to the neck and both shoulders.

11. Stomach complaints may cause pain between the shoulders

It may sound a little strange, but many people suffer from upsurge or reflux (rising burning stomach acid) without notice. The stomach acid can cause sore pain on the middle back - between the shoulders. Often the shoulder disorder then occurs after the meal or at a lying posture. So, check whether your shoulder pain is related to your diet (nutritional composition or eating habits).

Burning stomach acid is usually caused by a poor stomach valve, a lazy stomach, bad eating habits (choking, unhealthy eating, etc.) or food intolerance. Often, Omeprazole can provide a solution.

12. Pain between the shoulder blades due to stress

It may sound cliché, but stress can cause pain between the shoulders. Stress (responsibilities, work stress, relationships, sadness, insecurity, violence, etc.) cause muscle tension. Muscle tension causes stiff, aching shoulders. The pain will make you busy and you will experience more stress. You are searching the internet for possible causes and recognizing symptoms of serious conditions ... Before you know, you experience more (hypochondrial) stress. You get anxious and fear makes it even worse. You sleep poorly, you can not concentrate, underperforming and thus experience even more stress ...

Stress does not mean that the cause of the pain between your shoulders is "between the ears". The pain only has an underlying psychological cause. Pain between the shoulders due to excessive stress is often associated with tension headache and high blood pressure.

Finally

In most cases, pain between the shoulders is a constant, aching pain that does not get worse by moving. In that case, it seldom causes problems with the lungs or the heart. If your shoulder disorder is affected by posture and movement, the cause usually lies with your shoulder joints or spine. If you get more strain after exercise, your airways may play (hyperventilation, bronchitis, etc.) In some cases, the pain between your shoulders occurs soon after meals (stomach) or after fat food (liver). Furthermore:

• Shoulder pain is more left ...
  ... Cause usually occurs in heart, lung, stomach or spleen .
• Shoulder pain is more right ...
  ... Cause usually occurs in liver , lung or gallbladder .

Tip: Make a second opinion if you are in doubt about the diagnosis specialist (you are entitled to). And, if necessary, do a private scan if you have no confidence in your attending physician.
