Scapular Winging – Causes Symptoms and Treatment

Scapular winging, also known as scapular dyskinesis, is a condition in which the shoulder blade (scapula) protrudes or sticks out from the back. This can result from muscle imbalances, poor posture, or nerve damage. It can cause pain and decreased range of motion in the shoulder and may lead to more severe problems if left untreated. Causes of Scapular Winging One common cause of Scapular winging is muscle imbalances, particularly weak serratus anterior muscles and tight pectoral muscles. The serratus anterior is a muscle that helps to stabilize the scapula, while the pectoral muscles, located in the chest, can cause the scapula to wing out if they are tight. Poor posture, such as hunching or slouching over, can also contribute to Scapular winging. When the shoulders are rounded or hunched forward, it can cause the scapula to protrude outward. Nerve damage, such as from a pinched nerve or nerve impingement,…
