Abstract
The scapula is a bone present at the back that is important for proper shoulder functioning or movement. Any trauma to the scapular bone or its surrounding tissues and muscles hinders the normal functioning of the scapula. Trauma can be direct or indirect depending upon the cause. Overuse of scapular function is also a causative factor. In this article, we will discuss various causative factors and symptoms of Scapular Dyskinesia. We shall also discuss its management in Ayurveda.
Introduction
Scapular Dyskinesia refers to the loss of normal scapular mechanics, motions, and physiology. It is also known as Sick Scapular syndrome. There is a deviation in the normal resting position of the scapula bone during shoulder joint movements. There can be various abnormalities in scapular movement some of which can be improved through general measures including yoga and exercises. While, if not properly treated or given appropriate time for healing, it may cause prolonged complications that can also cause cuff tears. Sports persons, or persons with loose joints and poor physical condition are more likely or are at risk of developing Scapular Dyskinesia.
Ayurvedic Aspect
According to the ancient Ayurveda texts, joint and muscular disorders occur due to the aggravation of Vata dosha along with anubandh of Kapha dosha. Vata dosha aggravates due to continuous malpractice of Vata vardhak diet and lifestyle. Due to the accumulation of Aam in the joints, the condition worsens. The Aam is formed in the body due to mandagni and overeating. That ultimately releases toxins in the body and leads to organ and joint dysfunction. Toxin accumulation in the scapular joints will lead to malfunctioning of the joint along with pain, stiffness, and misalignment. In its treatment, the first step is to balance the dosha while eliminating toxins from the body. Joints and muscular problems are very effectively managed with Ayurveda treatment. Modalities used for the treatment of Scapular Dyskinesia include panchakarma therapies according to the cause and symptoms of the patient and herbal medications. Pure herbal medications work faster and accurately for recovery. Such pure herbal medications are prepared by Planet Ayurveda.
