can stomach issues cause shoulder pain
Because the nerves that exit the spine in the mid-back interconnect with other organs, the body needs to be evaluated and treated from a systems perspective. Pain between the shoulder blades can actually be coming from the esophagus, stomach, gallbladder, small intestine or liver. Just ask anyone who has had a gallbladder attack to verify this for you. A third example of approaching the body from a systems perspective is lower back pain ad digestive problems.
