Your Scapular Pain is Probably Coming From Your Neck (Research Review)

A scoping review of 86 studies found that scapular pain is reported in 72% of studies on cervical radiculopathy, making it the third most common pain location after neck and arm pain. The evidence also suggests that scapular pain may precede arm symptoms by weeks, challenging the traditional assumption that arm pain is necessary for diagnosis.

In short, if you have shoulder blade pain and are NOT looking at your neck for clues, then you could be missing the bigger picture entirely!
