Relaxation Gymnastics as Preventive Control for Neck and Shoulder Pain: A Case Study

Shoulder pain is one of the most common presentations of musculoskeletal pain with population prevalence of between 7 and 26 %. The most common pathology that affects the shoulder joint is rotator cuff syndrome. The most important aspects in the management of patient with shoulder pain by general practitioner are to ensure an accurate diagnosis and to start the appropriate treatment on time. The main direction of rotator cuff syndrome treatment includes a period of rest from the exacerbating activity and taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In some cases the use of the NSAIDs is not possible, so we decided to suggest an alternative non-pharmacological method of treatment. We treated a patient with rotator cuff syndrome by injections of autologous plasma into the affected muscles and projections of entheses that were involved in the pathological process. We obtained positive results. The shoulder pain had been reduced, mobility and movement had been improved after a course of autologous plasma injections. In our opinion, it is expedient to consider such treatment of the rotator cuff syndrome both as an additional method and separately in case of impossibility of prescribing the main therapy.

Neck And Shoulder Pain

Abstract Background Shoulder stiffness is a common health issue in Japan. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people were forced to stay home which possibly escalated the development of shoulder stiffness. We aimed to assess associations of lifestyle changes and newly developed neck and shoulder pain (NSP) during the pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, analyzing the data from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS), an internet survey conducted from August to September 2020. Data included sociodemographic, lifestyle and health measures related to NSP during the pandemic. Multivariable logistic regression models were fitted to calculate adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for newly developed NSP with adjustment for lifestyle, physiological and psychosocial changes. Results After exclusion of participants with existing pain, 25,482 participants (12,673 male, 12,809 female) aged 15-79 years were included in the analysis. Of these, 4.1% reported newly developed NSP. Weight gain and long sedentary time were strongly associated with the NSP (AOR (95%CI): 2.4 (2.0-2.8) and 1.81 (1.4-2.3)). Stratified analyses of 1,751 students and 4,211 teleworkers showed significant associations (AOR (95%CI): 2.1 (1.4-2.8) and 2.5 (1.9-3.2)) compared to non-workers and non-teleworkers, respectively. Conclusions Students and teleworkers became prone to NSP during the pandemic. However, factors which were associated to pain did not differ during the pandemic compared with the previous studies. Key messages Preventive measures for NSP should be taken in students and teleworkers.
