Subscapularis Syndrome
As a chiropractor, watching this webinar on subscapularis dysfunction and its potential connection to frozen shoulder is a valuable opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding of Subscapularis Syndrome. The webinar will delve into the muscular dysfunction model proposed by Travell and Simons over 20 years ago, which questions the traditional etiology of capsular adhesions and highlights the subscapularis muscle as a potential contributor to frozen shoulder.
Dr. Steele will provide scientific evidence linking the primary symptom of frozen shoulder to a subscapularis trigger point, and will also offer exercises to helping patients with subscapularis syndrome resolve their symptoms quickly. By attending the webinar, you will gain insight into a potential missing link that could prevent your rotator cuff patients from transitioning to capsulitis.
Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to download a customized condition report on this diagnosis that can be used as a template within ChiroUp. This resource will help you to better diagnose and treat patients with subscapularis syndrome, providing them with the best possible care.
Keep in mind this is a personalized report that I use daily. If you want to create a similar report, go to the condition reference section within ChiroUp. Hit the edit button on the top right. You can select all the common treatments and exercises that I have or use your own. Here is the patient education that I use in my condition report:
Subscapularis syndrome is a condition that affects a muscle in your shoulder called the subscapularis. This muscle is located at the front of your shoulder blade and helps you move your arm.
When you have subscapularis syndrome, you may experience pain or weakness in your shoulder, especially when you try to move your arm in certain ways. This can make it difficult to do everyday activities, such as reaching overhead or lifting objects.
Subscapularis syndrome can be caused by overuse or repetitive strain on the muscle, such as from playing sports or doing activities that require a lot of overhead arm movements. It can also be caused by a tear or injury to the muscle.
Treatment for subscapularis syndrome may include rest, ice, joint manipulation, and exercises. It's important to tell your chiropractor if you're also experiencing weakness in your arm, as they can help diagnose and treat the underlying cause of your symptoms.
So, check out the webinar and download the all-new condition report below to enhance your understanding of frozen shoulder and its potential connection to subscapularis dysfunction, and equip you with valuable tools to improve patient outcomes.
