Anatomy, Function & Dysfunction Rhomboid Muscles - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

I've been to plenty doctors and chiropractor this video has informed me better than they have. Thanks doc

Doctors are not teachers - their job is to treat you, not give you personal lessons on anatomy.

[@IamThatiAm420]

The medical system is a joke. It's not a problem unless you see a surgeon was the takeaway for me.

[@IamThatiAm420]

@@floatingchimney Bullshit! Doctors have sold out to Big Pharma. They would prefer you take celebrex so they can refer you to their cardiac buddy. The cancer industry is hoping you'll take an immune depressant such as humira to treat your autoimmune disease which was caused by one of the vaccines we were compelled to take to enter the mind training camps aka educational system. We spent an entire semester in nursing school solely focused on pharmaceuticals.

This is really good material. I am recently having problems with exact pain as it is described here. I have been to 3 specialist: 1 had no idea what was going on, the other ones did not mention rhomboideus at all, they said that is it all fault of trapezius. Pain is really annoying, but it ia not blocking any movement, i feel pain the most when i press any weight with shoulder upwords. I caused it mosr probably by lifting too much on gym plus i have physical work. Have a good day Guys

[@mrbigolnuts3041]

Like described in the vid these are specific muscles which help to hold the bone structure in a consistent shape, they are difficult to target, but there are specific exercises which target them and avoid injury. Pain you just have to suffer, but don't massage when it's inflamed.

[@paulaburzotta4717]

I have had scapula winging for years. It became much worse after the C~7 ruptured. I finally went to our local orthopedic group here in Atlanta. The MRI clearly showed that the disc was on the large scale of a disc rupture. Dr. Valez suggested spinal surgery. I chose to give it a little time to heal including PT, just to try and avoid surgery. Well he was right! Upon return, I had another MRI and the surgeon came to tell us that the herniated disc did heal, however, we were shocked because it was actually worse. Dr. Valez noticed something odd with my shoulder. So he sent me downstairs to the shoulder surgeon. Again, yet another problem. My first rib was shattered and had calcification buildup around some nerves and arteries. Nothing could be done at that point according to the surgeon, until I went to a neurologist - which showed positive on the NCS test. I had to see a brachial plexus specialist. He said that it’s I possibly to shatter a 1st rib, without a direct hit to that exact area. Otherwise impossible to fix he said…. Long story, but short version is after meeting with many specialist, (rule out lung cancer, bone cancer, full body imaging, etc) they suggested to have a spinal cord stem unit surgically inserted to help with pain. HUGE waste of money! We had neurosurgeon, Dr. Betsy Grunch remove the stem unit and take a pic to show that the paddles of the leads were missing and I had a “jumble of wires” were leads were inserted. Awful experience. Mean while, after recovery from that madness, my shoulder and ribs were extremely painful. I tried injections, dry needling, cupping, chiropractic care, PT, creams, anything that might take the edge off. Even meditation. Nothing. So, second opinion from another shoulder specialist said there was not a surgery he could do to fix it. By then 1 1/2-2 years passed. Everything from working to chores became worse. I could feel the burning, stabbing sensation all-the-time! I quit my job. (Sadly was highly tense and physical labor at times as well) Finally a well known surgeon at Northside Hospital said the first thing to do is to remove the 1st rib to hopefully receive blood flow and nerves back if it was less than 18 months, (2 1/2 yrs passed of compressed nerves, which was a concern that nerve regrowth may never happen. They were correct about the nerves, but my arm is no longer purple! And my fingers were not as numb after that surgery. Several years later I was still in pain, more than I could tolerate without gabapentin, inflammation meds and muscle relaxers with adderal to keep me awake during the day with the other medications. With all of those meds, I could work again. However, another prob occurred…. Muscle atrophy. Oh, I forgot to mention the fractured 2&4th ribs from before surgeries) again, no incidences, no car crash, nothing I could remember and my family never recalled any trauma either. My body became noticeable “crooked”. A 2 inch slant on 1 side of my body. Finally, I went to see the Neurosurgeon Dr.Betsy Grunch. She ordered an MRI and CT of my neck. At first, it was just 2 C-discs that were in need of anterior discectomy and fusions, but the final test showed a third was needed to be done too. So I had a 3 disc/ or multiple fusions. I am in my 6th month of recovery and feeling better where the pain radiated from my neck and the burning arms that woke me throughout the night became no existence! Huge relief. But she did tell me that this surgery would not fix the scapula. She was right. No matter how much I exercise my right arm and shoulder, and scapula are still the same. And I am always very fatigued, but I do the strength training given to me by PT. Could the nerves be the culprit of his awful, burning, agonizing pain? Could it possibly get better with time and exercise? I’m still on the medications I listed above because they help me get through the day productively. But I am just 54 and feel like an old lady. Now I’ve been diagnosed with arthritis. Every joint in my body hurts. My fingers and toes are noticeable effected. But wow do my joints ache. Any correlation between this new diagnosis of arthritis, fatigue, continued burning pain and winging scapula? Thank you for reading. But this is the “nutshell” version! Thanks!

Thank your a clear explanation of the anatomy and function of the rhomboid. However, for treatment of rhomboid pain, I would advocate strengthening the muscle with training, such as scapular pull-ups and rowing exercises, before resorting to medication and injections.

[@nadinerichings4259]

Great information and images about the rhomboids AND associated muscles. Importantly for me you mentioned the interaction of the antagonistic actions of the pectoralis and rhomboids, with their antagonistic actions. I have chronic frozen shoulder (almost 8 years), so various muscles in and around my shoulder have had changed force and load over an extended time. After doing a couple of days of moving ( it has to be done!), I had what felt like a strain in the clavicular head of my pectoralis major. Next day it was worse; sometimes the pain, strain and heat extends along the muscle into my armpit region. Then the next day it was also aching in the region of the rhomboids, at all three trigger points. I assume it is rhomboids rather then anything else. I was looking for the connection between rhomboids and pectoralis - you have described it. THe strong rhomboid ache is almost constant. The only way to relieve the ache is to take the weight off the arm by resting the elbow on something or using a sling. Lots of ice packs, rest, then some stretching and strength exercies.

What a great video. Visuals were very good and good insight. I have back pain for 30 years, especially rhomboid and low back. Hard to find a solution, so I am self-educating.

[@Ragnarockalypse]

Try strengthening the muscles of the back. Scapular pull-ups and rowing exercises for the rhomboids, hyperextensions and deadlifts with moderate to slightly heavy weight for the lower back. Consult a physiotherapist before beginning a workout routine, and gradually increase the weight of exercises for progressive, controlled overload. Doctors are very knowledgeable, but they might only prescribe pain medication that treats the symptoms but not the cause of your back pain.

[@dyardsale5475]

I've been having good results with a light lat bar stretch as I lean downwards and do partial behind-the-back pulling motion with a lat bar and low weight. I think my tight shoulders are causing problems (I can't squat with normal hand spacing).

[@AFPhilbrook]

I like the anatomical breakdown but I would never suggest any of the solutions for pain that he does. You want to get blood flow to the rhomboid by active stretching/compressing of the muscle. This clears up my pain in a few minutes. For long term management you want to work on strengthening your back and pectoral muscles to improve your posture.

I have an ache on the left rhomboid for 3 years because of an injury while doing chinups at the gym. Since then I can remove the trigger points from the left rhomboid using a tennis ball but 2 days after that I have again the back with the stiffness. I tried everything. The MRI displays a bulge in C5-C6 but some doctors say that is not related with my stiffness. This injury was as soon as I got to the gym and started doing chinups without warming up. Perhaps someone can help?

[@emiledin2183]

This was not helpful! Why would you stretch the rhomboids if the overactive pectoralis muscles already stretches the rhomboids muscles making it weaker? Would you not stretch the pectoralis then strengthen the rhomboids? Possible use tennis balls method but not stretch!
