Abstract
The scapula (shoulder blade) is a large triangular-shaped bone located in the
upper back and includes two muscles on each side. The scapula is surrounded
and supported by a complex system of muscles that work together to help in
the arm movement. If some condition or injury causes these muscles to become imbalanced or weak, the position of the scapula can be altered at rest or
in motion. A change in the scapular positioning or motion can make difficulties in the arm movement, especially when performing overhead activities
and may cause shoulder weakness. Acupuncture treatment as part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine is most commonly used treatment for treating
musculoskeletal disorders. In the treatment of scapular muscle fasciitis the
fire-needle acupuncture gave the fastest and best results in our practice. The
aim of the treatment is to break up the scar tissue and the adhesions which
commonly form at the site, to relax the levator scapula muscle and restore
local normal blood and energy flow. In the research are included 13 patients,
6 male and 7 female, on age from 24 to 70. All patients had scapular pain and
on all was performed fire-needle acupuncture. Most common age groups are
50 - 60, most patients have pain on the right scapula and most of them—9
have done only one treatment. A long-term problem with the scapula muscle
can be resolved with only one fire-needle acupuncture treatment.
