When it comes to high and low shoulders, many people may not think that it is just one shoulder high and one shoulder low. They think it is normal to have high and low shoulders, because people nowadays usually have high and low shoulders. High and low shoulders are related to sharpshooter, but it doesn’t mean that high and low shoulders have no effect on us. To understand the effect of high and low shoulders on us, of course, we should start with the causes of high and low shoulders. There are many reasons for high and low shoulders, the most common being bilateral muscle imbalance (one side of the scapular raphe and upper trapezius is too tense): backpacking, sleeping in the wrong position, playing computer for a long time, playing mahjong, lying in bed reading and watching TV can all cause tension in the shoulder muscles of the side that is often used, causing the shoulder on this side to be higher. The second reason is scoliosis. The shoulder on the convex side of the scoliosis will be higher. A simple assessment of whether there is scoliosis: the convex side of the scoliosis will be higher after bending The third cause of high and low shoulders is long and short feet: high and low shoulders due to such causes cannot be assessed with the naked eye. The fourth cause is pelvic tilt and spinal tilt. These four causes interact with each other, and when high and low shoulders appear, they are usually accompanied by the four symptoms mentioned above. Namely, muscle tension on the higher side, scoliosis, long and short legs, and pelvic tilt. Therefore, either of these causes can lead to other problems. High and low shoulders can be very harmful to a person. High and low shoulders are not just a simple imbalance of the body, but most importantly, they cause a deformation of the spine, which is like a tightened towel. The deformation of the spine is like a tightened towel. The distortion of the spine compresses the nerves around the spine, causing arm numbness, neck pain, dizziness, low sleep quality, blood pressure, heart system and other problems! The danger of high and low shoulder one: neck and shoulder pain This is due to excessive tightness of the muscles near the shoulder, or further cervical scoliosis due to spinal degeneration caused by scoliosis, and therefore prone to chronic pain in the neck and shoulder area. If you are suffering from an inexplicable headache, it is most likely caused by long-term high and low shoulders! The danger of high and low shoulder three: cervical degeneration When the problem of high and low shoulder cannot be solved, the long years of improper posture makes the load on the cervical spine too heavy, which may eventually lead to the degeneration of the cervical spine and even the formation of bone spurs! The danger of high and low shoulder four: lumbar pain, leg length discrepancy High and low shoulder causes displacement of the pelvis, making the lumbar tissue muscle imbalance, resulting in lumbar pain. Also, pelvic displacement can cause changes in leg length. High and low shoulder is actually a developmental disorder, so it should not be ignored. Only when we have a correct understanding of its hazards, we can stop maintaining a dismissive attitude towards it and think about how to solve this problem.
