🦴 What Does a Pinched Dorsal Scapular Nerve Feel Like? 🦴 🤕 Experiencing sharp, stabbing pain or a deep ache between your shoulder blades? Does the discomfort radiate down your back or make it tough to move your neck and shoulders freely? You might be dealing with an irritated or pinched dorsal scapular nerve. 📚 Anatomy & Function: The dorsal scapular nerve originates from the C5 nerve root in your neck, running down to innervate the rhomboid muscles and the levator scapulae. These muscles are crucial for stabilizing and moving your shoulder blades, playing a key role in shoulder and upper back movements. 🩺 Symptoms: • Sharp, localized pain between the shoulder blades • Radiating discomfort to the upper back or neck • Muscle weakness or spasms in the affected area • Difficulty moving your shoulders or neck 🧠 As a chiropractor, understanding nerve-related issues is a big part of what I do.
