CONDITION: Scapulocostal Syndrome

DESCRIPTION:

Snapping Scapula Syndrome, also known as Scapulocostal Syndrome or Scapulothoracic Syndrome, is characterized by a grating, grinding, popping or snapping sensation of the scapula onto the back side of the ribs or thoracic area of the spine. The condition can be quite painful and is extremely irritating to the patient suffering with it. The normal treatments of NSAIDs, cortisone shots, trigger point injections, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, and surgery often lead to suboptimal results. In our experience, the best chance at cure for the condition is when a patient receives Prolotherapy using the Hackett-Hemwall technique like we do here at Caring Medical.
