Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.
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.
Another âgassyâ problem that can cause shoulder pain occurs after laparoscopy. A patient may experience some gas pains from residual carbon dioxide that may remain in the abdomen following the procedure. This pain usually presents as shoulder pain or sharp pain underneath the diaphragm. The pain is usually transient and will disappear in a day or two. Another interesting relationship between gas pains and shoulder pain is the âbendsâ. This is a condition when nitrogen bubbles deposit in tissue and cause tissue death.
