SRI - Shock Release Instrument: • Shock Release Instrument
Dr. Joe DeMarco, chiropractor and owner of OcraMed Health, talks about shoulder pain in his latest video. In particular, Dr. Joe discusses pain in the acromioclavicular joint (commonly referred to as the AC joint).
The AC joint is a small synovial joint that forms where the acromion process of the scapula meets the end of the clavicle. The ac joint can often become dysfunctional and result in a lot of "clicking", "grinding", and other various awful sounding noises when you move your shoulder.
Dr. Joe demonstrates how to first perform fascial release work on the soft tissue around the acromioclavicular joint. He then demonstrates how to perform a release on the ac joint itself.
If you are experiencing problems with your ac joint, give these simple techniques a try. Of course, always consult your doctor first.

For 13 years I've walked with pain. Sometimes up to the point that I couldn't work out anymore. Went to hospitals, physiotherapists. Nothing, until I did this. Something clicked in my shoulder and it's good again. Haven't felt this good in 13 years.
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Happy to help my friend!!
This exercise fixed my pain a few years ago. It started coming back recently, so I had to come hunt the video down again. I should never have completely stopped doing this!
Hope it helps again!!! Good luck!
This single exercise has changed-my-life!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been plagued with AC Joint pain for 15 years and didn't know what to do about it. I was terrifed of having surgery and have tried every exercise imaginable with little relief. The pain was so constant and unrelenting that it felt like I was walking around with a low grade fever all the time. It was a feeling of complete hopelessness. Then, like a miracle, this exercise entered my life. Thank you again.
So glad I could help my friend!
This has been a life saver after just 1 week omg thanks 🙏
Happy to help!!
I had problems with this for almost 6 months. And saw videos from other huge channels (like AthleanX) which weren't as helpful, but after almost 2 months of doing this my pain is about 90% gone but I can work out pain free when I do these exercises. Thanks a ton!
Glad I could help my friend!
An hour ago I had no idea what was wrong with my shoulder but I had the worst mobility of my life and none of my stretches were helping. This video helped me dramatically improve my mobility in minutes. I can't wait to see how I feel a few weeks from now. Thank you!
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Gonna keep this short…my shoulder was killing me after heavy bench press! My range of motion was limited and my shoulder would hurt with any movement. Did the towel trick and it helped a TON. Consistently been doing it even without the towel for a few days and the pain is reducing and my range of motion is almost fully back. Thank you so much appreciate your advice! Much love!
Happy to help my friend!
Thank you for having literally the only self help video for a dislocated AC joint, this is amazing, I’m baffled that two of my last chiropractors have not diagnosed my AC joint separation when my shoulders are an inch apart in height and one has a huge bone sticking up, I guess the state of our medicine is unbelievably bad, although I’ll keep looking for a good one, this exercise has been an immense help.
Happy to help!!
Dr Joe I know this is an older video but really thanks so much for this short exercise, I've been dealing with an injury from a sprained AC joint for roughly 10-11 years and really upset it in the gym tonight. Just breaking up the tissue and doing this exercise a few times really relieved me of A LOT of pain. Your knowledge is a blessing brother, much love and happy holidays if you see this!
Glad I can help my friend! Good luck!
Same here man! Hope you are doing better now!
That worked so well thank you so much. I've had a nagging ac injury for awhile and was considering going to the doctor for it. Did this one time and already the pain i had from crossing my arm over my chest is gone. You're amazing man! I only feel it now when i pull my arms apart with my hands interlocked, but I only did it once so far.
That's great! Keep working at it! Keep me posted on your progress!
I'm really hoping this helps! Been lifting heavy weights constantly for the last 6 years and I've suddenly got pain in my ac joint, its stopping me working out chest and shoulders. Thanks for this video! Let's hope this can sort me out!
I hope so too! Good luck my friend!
Whoa. Great trick! Reduced my click / clunk noises after only a few reps w/ the clavicle compression to my right ACJ. Thank you 😊
Awesome! Happy to help!!
Just watched this video along with about 4 other videos and after just doing the massaging of listed areas, I’m already feeling some relief from the ac joint. The hand and towel trick definitely helped as well. There’s was a lot off popping/clicking going on while I was doing this.
Good luck my friend!
Holy crap, I didn't think this was going to work because I thought you were just some shirtless gym bro in the thumbnail. I started doing the massaging movements at 5:40 and my shoulder feels way better. I couldn't find this info or technique anywhere else. Great info and video. Thanks doc!
Thank you my friend. Glad I could help!
Hooooooooly crap! This was a huge release on my shoulders, thank you so much, my shoulders have not felt this good in a long time!
You're so welcome!
AMAZING!
This worked. Big difference.
Thanks from Australia.
Glad it helped my friend!
I have shoulder issues for more than 20 years. I have been doing shoulder rehabilitation regularly for more than 6 months. It has help to some extend. I can now do weighted pull up and standing and seated shoulder presses up to 18kg with good form and slow eccentric. However, the shoulder is still loose and i struggle the most with bench presses regardless incline or flat. I practise all the queues of getting a proper arch, stablising the scapular flat and flat on the bench etc. However, i am still unable to add weight without inflamming the shoulder. Also, traps activation with heavy weights, feels the stress and pain on the ac joint. I will add this to my rehabilitation exercise. Hope it will help my chronic issue.
Best of luck!!
I have watched so many videos on AC joint pain but this is the only video that exactly depicts what I am feeling. That annoying pop sound when I move my arm around my chest and that pain is so annoying because of this AC joint pain I missed the gym for this 1 week because my shoulder hurts whenever I lift heavy. I will try this massage. I really hope that it'll work.
Good Luck!!
Doc, my shoulder has been given me pain for the past 4 months and I couldn't figure out what it was. I was like "dang it's the little pointy bone on the top of my shoulder!" And it didn't start hurting until I did some front deltoid workouts. But now, I just did all the steps you provided and I instantly feel a relief in pain.
Thank you for such a helpful video.
God bless
Glad I could help Chad! Good luck with your training!
Shoulder has been in pain for past two days getting started early to help minimize the lasting damage. Provided exercises work well thank you for sharing.
Good luck my friend!
I injured my ac joint a few days ago. Fell off a motorcycle while unloading it from a trailer. Landed on my shoulder and hit my head. I got lucky it wasn’t worse. Is it too early to go see my chiropractor? I’ve been using my muscle stim device.
You could definitely go get treatment for it now. Good luck!!
Just tried it. I think it helped. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I'm from Indonesia, thank you for the knowledge. I have been suffering from shoulder pain for 4 months. And it was very torturous. After I followed the movement you demonstrated the pain was reduced. Thank you.
Glad I could help my friend!
@@OcraMedHealth Currently it is still felt on the front shoulder so that the arm cannot reach the left shoulder.
Hey man, I really hope this comment reaches you, 22 year old aspiring athlete (MMA ). I injured my ac joint in September, i landed on it and the acromion swelled up, i gave it two weeks of rest and when the swelling went down i returned right back to training. The shoulder never felt the same since so about 3 months after the injury i got a cortisone shot from my doctor. Same thing took two weeks off and went right back to training. Is it possible i havent given it enough rest and need to step away from training completely for 4-6 weeks? Thank you so much you are the man
You might be jumping back into training a little too fast. Also, give these techniques some time. Keep working them for the next few weeks. Good luck!!
Please make a video for a rotator cuff injury
I have videos on different rotator cuff muscles. Just search the channel my friend.
Thank you I just started having this problem when I throw baseball and was having pain while doing it and this helped relieve some pain
Glad I could help Zach!!
I’m having the same issue, is you’re shoulder discomfort gone?
@@adrianmurillo142 Are you going to the gym and doing shoulders during your season
Because that can be putting too much pressure on your shoulder
You're in great shape bro!!
Thanks!!
I don’t know if you’ll reply or not but I’ll give it a shot.
For about a year, i’m having discomfort somewhere around AC joint. It came suddenly.. no fall or trauma. At first, it was really painful during a workout but i thought that it will go away eventually so i pushed through it. After couple of month, when i saw no improvement, I started going lighter on my training and watch out that there’s no any pain. Long story short - right now ( about year later ) pain has reduced drasticly but i still feel kinda “ pinch “ when i cross arm over my body. I’ve been to couple PT’s and they all told me theres nothing wrong with my shoulder but my trap and shoulder blade are very tight. My question to you is - could that “ pain “ i’m still feeling coming from trap ( part that you massage on the video ), or is it AC joint? And for the record, mine is not painful or tender to touch.
Thank you so much in advance and i really hope to hear from you :)
Jus had ac joint separation. Week 5 doing alot better thank you for your help.
Best of luck!
Dr Joe. This is just what I needed. My shoulders have been locking up from the way I’ve been sleeping. You’re awesome. Two thumbs up. 👍 👍
Hey John!! Nice to hear from you. Glad I could help and hope all is well!
Great video.
Suggestion. AC joint widening can be achieved using a tennis ball under the armpit and squeezing ?
I wouldn't want to do that. Blood vessels and nerves are in that area.
@@OcraMedHealth Thanks.
Thought i had a shoulder seperation, still might be that...
my shoulder has a bump about like yours, but only on the right (overdeveloped) side near the AC joint. Was worried i might be looking at surgery but just the fascial release part of this made it feel way way better and its not popping and crackling at all right now. Gonna keep going for a few weeks of 3-4 times a week but with just one session of it, huge difference!
Awesome! Happy to help!
Great video! I have distal clavicle osteolysis in both shoulders. Any advice on how to get back to certain weightlifting exercises?
The techniques on this video should help depending on the severity of your injury. Good luck!
Dr Joe you are a god walking amongst men thank you so much I had a full left AC dislocation about 5 years ago and my AC joint unbeknown to me has become very stiff and has caused lots of issues with my trap and left side of my neck, I've been to to a chiro and physiotherapist in the UK and they came up with nothing useful. You hit the nail on the head with manipulation and in particular the AC joint released felt the relief straight away in my trap muscle and in particular the left side of my neck, will be sticking to this program it's helped me no end and thank you so much again.
That's so great to hear. Glad I could help! Good luck and keep me posted on your progress!
How bad was it? I just tore mine 4 days ago with a fall had to go to ER I am in serious pain
Hi Benjamin it was very bad mountain bike accident grade 5 tour all for ligaments ended up with a hook and plate operation on the NHS very tough way back
Benjamin Vogel i think i was almost a grade 3 , i’m 3 months into recovery i’m just getting back into the gym (no chest shoulder or triceps work outs) (pretty much just back, bis and legs) and i’m still feeling it
I have mild AC joint arthritis from all the overhead exercises I did in the past while body building. Orthopedic all they want is remove my AC joint. I don’t want to do any surgery what do you recommend? What should I do beside these exercises and also at night when I sleep, would it be beneficial to wear a sling? What about SAM-E as a supplement? I want to go back to lifting, please let me know what you think I should do.
Give the techniques on this video a try for a few weeks. Mild AC joint arthritis shouldn't require surgery. I would also think that wearing a sling at night would be very uncomfortable. Good luck my friend.
Wow, thanks a lot it worked amazingly! Is it fine that I still have a little pain after doing this? Should I take rest from my workouts? Please respond.
Glad I could help. Keep working on it. It takes time. You can keep training but avoid any exercises that cause pain. Good luck!
Great info, thanks very much. Is it normal to have a fair deal of pain for the second excercise where you used the towel and were rotating your arm? I found that caused me a fair deal of discomfort so had to stop?
It can so only perform the techniques right now that don't cause pain. Perhaps in a week or two, try the towel exercise again and see if it is less painful. Good luck!
Thank you for your channel and helpful videos! Any advice for supRAspinatus tendonopathy?
Here's a video I did on the supraspinatus. Hope it helps! Thanks for watching. ruclips.net/video/ka9xSCZoaeU/видео.html
I have a massaging gun, can I use the tools on that and run it back and forth like you do that ball and do the same thing? I have bad pain in the right shoulder when at the gym and really holds me back on my chest and shoulder days. I’ve had my left shoulder fixed surgically but don’t wanna have to do surgery on the right if I can help it.
You can try the gun. Just be careful because it's a pretty boney area of the body.
Hey, I need some help I can feel my shoulder pop when I lift my arm up. I have it straight out in front of me and I lift it over my head I can feel the shoulder moving back when it pops. Could you help me get rid of this?
That's what the video is for. Give it some time. At least 3-4 weeks of working the techniques. Good luck.
This is painfull dude will it ever heal ? On its own?or do i need surgery ?
Im in some serious pain for the last 4 weeks. My arm feels useless right now.
Radiating pain. Pain around the trap and collarbone.
Give the techniques a try for a few weeks and see if they help. Good luck!
Pls help me because I have a shoulder pain after I do push up It doesn't hurt unless I do push ups , its been days now and the pain wont go away what should I do pls help me . And I am not sure if its really on my shoulder because I can feel it
Did you try the techniques from the video? Perhaps have the shoulder looked at by a good sports doctor/therapist. Good luck!
So I have been having pain since last week in that area. My lats also seem tight and when I raise my arm my scapula tends to poke out making it hard to bench press or do anything overhead. Is this the routine for me? I've been plagued with this shoulder injury for years.
I would give the techniques a try. Also, you may want to work the serratus anterior muscle to help stabilize the scapula. My latest video, coming out later today, goes over some exercises for that. Good luck!
If i have pain in the AC joint i can understand the massage methods you show work, because it does feel a bit better from it. But is it ok to do a release on it right away or should I do a couple days of massaging first? Thanks
The release work is fine to perform unless it is painful for you.
@@OcraMedHealth Thank you!
Hi sir thanks for your video
I have acromion pain issue almost for last 5 years and went to many doctors but all in vain.finally I went to a diagnostic center in 2019 the MRI reports showed that the acromion has straight under surface and is laterally down sloping.
The doctor after checking the report said that It got to be operated.
I was going to take risk of operation but due to covid-19 I didn't go to the hospital.
There is unrest in my whole body due to this pain. What should I do??
Did you give these techniques a try for a few weeks. Any luck?
@@OcraMedHealth No I didn't applied yet but I will try.... Thank you
Thanks for the video! Should there be pain in the AC joint when doing the release movements?
It can be uncomfortable, especially when you first start doing it. Good luck!
Thank you! My right shoulder already feels so much better and it's something I had been struggling with for the past 16+ years. My right hip kind of has the same kind of tightness and problem, it pops when I raise it from the ground. Not sure if the issue is connected somehow?
Glad I could help!
I cant seem to get enough pressure on that clavicle area, could I try exercise bands? Or anything to get enough pressure on it?
Using the small spikey Tai Chi Ball around the clavicle area is pretty intense.
I have had pain in Ac joint and inflammation for the last 6 months and i have to skip my workout because of pain , i did Mri but it shows moderate arthritis
I want to do workout again without pain so what should I do plz suggest me
Work the techniques from this video for a few weeks. Also, consult a good sports doctor/therapist. Good luck!
No way, genius! Work well so far😪💪💪💪💪💪💪 thank you!
You're welcome!
I will try this get back to you thanks
Definitely!
No grinding or noises. I can move it no problem, it only hurts when I bring my arm across my chest (left shoulder) and AC area hurts to touch. I been letting it recover for 3 days. I want to work out, but don’t want to injure it more. But I’ll try you recommendations.
Good luck! Just make sure to avoid any exercises that you feel directly aggravates it.
Thank you so much for posting this video. Great help!
Glad it was helpful!
what about the bump caused as a result does that go away?
Depends what the "bump" is. Hard to say without examining it.
Sir... its working.... I have been suffered ac joint sprain for more than 3 months.. I tried ur workouts... I feel better now.. can I go for gym workouts now ??? Because past 3 months am doing in small weights only... now can I do normal workouts ??like push up and shoulder workouts ??...a BIG thanks u sir... pls do more videos like this
You can workout if you are feeling better. However, just keep avoiding any exercises that cause any pain/discomfort. You don't want to aggravate the injury. Good luck my friend!
@@OcraMedHealth thank u so much for ur kind response... 👍... we always support ur channel
6:08 shows A close-up of his shoulders/collarbone.. if you see on top of the shoulder on both sides he has two lumps one on each side.. I have the same lump on one side. My question please why is that because I’ve been trying to figure it out I’ve been looking up videos on RUclips just to see if I can get in answer and I ran into this video .my hurts and Super sensitive to the touch. Is this normal why am I in so much pain
The AC joint is usually pretty visible on people, especially if they are lean.
Sir , i play cricket,which requires a lot of shoulder rotation (fast bowling which is kind of similar to pitching in baseball),I did alot of bowling a few days ago ,so should i start bowling again after it gets healed or should u wait for some more time??
You can start after it heals. However, warm up very well and go slow. Also, I would wait until the injury is fully healed before you bowl. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth Thank u for the reply sir ,good luck and stay safe!!
Hey Dr Joe, thank you so much this is extremely helpful for my AC joint pain! Any chance you can also make a video for intercostal pain? I have very tight ribs and am having trouble 'unglue-ing' them. Thanks!
I'll see what I can do. Always looking for ideas for future videos! Glad you found the video helpful!
I have a similar issue, when i breathe in and out my front ribs make a popping sound or crackling. No pain just crackles which is weird
Hi Dr Joe. Yes please intercostal video! My shoulder issue is from seatbelt injury from rear end car accident and I've had the intercostal problem and ac joint problem ever since but ribs seem to be taboo for people. Nobody really knows how to fix this that I've seen.
Back in 2011 I was in the gym doing some incline bench press. Started to get a sharp pain in my right shoulder joint.
My uncle told me could be joint rubbing vain ? If that's the case. Is it a serious I mite have to go under the knife.
If it's been a major issue for you, I would have it looked at by a good sports doctor/therapist in your area. Good luck my friend!
I had a grade 1 or 2 AC sprain. How long until I can start weightlifting again? Thanks
Usually in about 6-8 weeks you can get back to training. However, that depends on whether or not you are still having pain. If pain continues, have a doctor/therapist take a look at it.
thank you for the time and video, will this work to lower a bump that is there... or would that be a dislocation... thanks...
I think that bump could be your ac joint itself. Does it look similar to what his shoulders have? Or is it larger? It's definitely not a dislocation, because that hurts like shit
An injury to the AC joint is called a separation. A dislocation is an injury to the gleno-humeral joint.
@@infernalpenguin1469 it's perhaps not even as high as his are, but one side is more than the other now... thanks for the reply
The massage feels really good and when I do the arm raise there’s no clicking in my AC but the ligament seems to move on the inside of my elbow without any pain... think it’s good to keep doing the arm raise? Or might this be another issue?
It might be another issue that you should have checked out by your doctor/therapist.
Thanks for posting this video. Can I do these exercises with grade 1 AC joint separation?
I was just recovering from a grade 1 AC separation and used these techniques during my recovery. However, if you are concerned, I would check with your doctor. Good luck!
How did your ac joint separation issue get fixed? This will be very helpful. Thank you
What about excersises to keep ac joint stable as much as i can? Which muscles do i want to target? Rotator cuffs, upper trap? What about the no goes on excersises if the ac joint is unstable?
Shoulder stability is primarily obtained by keeping the rotator cuff muscles strong. We have quite a few videos on the channel going over various exercises. Good luck!
Got any tips on how to perform exercises for chest and shoulders when you have osteolisis of the distal clavicle without aggravating the pain?
Heavy overhead movements general aggravate this type of problem. However, as weightlifters, we are not going to avoid training. Therefore, expect some pain after training. Ice the shoulder down for 20 minutes after lifting. Warm up good prior to working out. Using techniques that I demonstrate in this video are helpful. I do this all the time prior to training chest/shoulders. I also perform some light band exercises prior to lifting. As far as lifting, just let pain be your guide. If on a particular day, a certain exercise is hurting, then skip it for that day. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth Thanks appreciate the advice. I already had one AC resection in the left shoulder. Trying to avoid it in the right.👍🏼
Awesome video dude
Thanks!
I do construction and lift weights. Should I take off work? will it ever heal or just learn to practice these techniques?
Give the techniques a try for a few weeks at least. Also, I would have a therapist/doctor take a look at it. Good luck!
Thanks! Finally some relief- and I can raise my arm straight up over my head again! 🙏💜
Awesome!
I have fluid in my ac joint and my doctor gave me some medicine will this exercise help me?
I can't say for sure if it will help. Only perform it if you can do it comfortably and without any pain. Good luck with your injury!
I’m a 14 year old weightlifter and this hurts haven’t watched the full vid yet but I hope this works, if not please tell me if I should go to a doctor or just sleep it off.
Genius. Thanks so much for sharing this brother, ive struggled with my left shoulder doing overhead pressing movements for some time now and this is the only video that has helped me. I felt a lot of bloodblow and sensation through my hand and shoulder i've not felt for a long time!
Fantastic! Glad I could help!
samee!! i had pain and sounds in my left shoiulder due to overhead presses. How are you now mate?
This helped me tremendously. Thank you so much!
Excellent video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Font Storage Scheme (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for getting rid of your shoulder pain minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cooworker after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical success with it.
Hi so as of today I recently dislocated my AC joint grade 3 i’m just wondering when should I be able to exercise I have a lot of pain still but want to take the proper steps into healing it
You need to have a doctor take a look at that type of injury. Good luck!
My shoulder has been killing me lately. Going to give this a try and report back on the results.
Good luck!! Keep me posted!
What if u have full range of motion but your ac joint Is injured it’s been 4 weeks feels tender to touch and is not getting any better
If it's been hurting for that long, I would have it evaluated. Best of luck.
I had a grade 3/100% ac separation but without any ripping or tearing of the ligaments. As a bodybuilder I now have my bone sticking way out of my shoulder and lots of instability. It’s pretty much ruined my BBing career at this point. Are their any exercises that I could continually do to put it back in place and resume BBing?
If you have a Grade 3 separation, then that means you have torn the supporting soft tissue. That is why the clavicle is sticking up. I would consult with an orthopedic for that type of injury. Exercises won't bring the clavicle back down. Good luck my friend!
With acute AC joint inflammation- How long do you recommend to rest? How long do you recommend to pause workouts?
Personally, I would continue to try to keep training but avoid any exercises that directly aggravate the area. If pretty much everything hurts, then I would take 4-6 weeks off from training. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth Thanks 👍🏼
Dude! This is great stuff! Thank you! Wait, I just looked at your book - you're plant based too? Wow, you're like the next Jack Lalanne. I've been plant based for 6 years. XOXO.
Happy to help out! Best of luck to you!!
I injuried myself with planche 5 motnhs ago, and before like month and a half I paused doing it so I focused on some other things like front lever and victorian cross. The pain never didn't stop, but it isn't hurting THAT bad, it's just hurting while doing push ups, or planche and it's cracking while rotating it. Will the excerise you gave in this video help me with my problem? Thanks in advance, amazing video!
It's hard to say for sure if it will help. However, if the techniques in the video feel OK when you perform them, there is no harm in trying them for a few weeks. Good luck! Keep me posted on your progress.
@@OcraMedHealth thank you, you are amazing man! :)
Well my elbow makes the sounds but my shoulder hurts just a bit. Do you know what I have?
Tough to say without examining it.
Well now only my elbow makes the sound the pain is gone
my shoulder bone located near trapezius pains when i throw a punch . can i do this exercise. what could be the reason
Perform the techniques as long as they don't cause or increase your pain. You may have a strain that needs a little time to heal. Good luck my friend!
I have been dealing with this pain in my ac joint for a couple months now. The work I do seems to really hinder the healing process. I went to an orthopedic specialist and they told me they could fix it by doing surgery and cutting out a small piece of bone. Any helpful thoughts on surgery?
I'm not a big fan of any of those type of procedures. I would recommend seeing a good sports therapist or chiropractor before you opt for surgery. Good luck my friend!
@@OcraMedHealth thank you, the advice is much appreciated!
What exercises should you avoid with the ac joint issues?
When you workout "just let pain be your guide". Perform the exercises that feel good, skip the ones that hurt. Good luck!
I've made crash last week,realy stupid but I've got Joint separation pl+ a bit cracked...They gave me Arm sling (how is the exact name do't know with my english..) 3 weeks ,after that I need X ray agay and I hopeeee it's gonna Heal naturaly 🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞
Best of luck! Heal quickly my friend.
@@OcraMedHealth ❤Thanks a lottt
It doesn't hurt when I lift in the gym.. but it hurts on other awkward daily movements at if I sleep on it etc. Is it safe for me to still lift weights in the gym ? Or will it make the problem worse even though it doesn't hurt during the lifting movements... Cheers !
You can still workout but just "let pain be your guide". If the exercise hurts, don't do it. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth thanks for the response.. it doesn't hurt during the excersise but it's very sore the day after.. is this a red flag? I just want to make sure that I'm not worsening the problem.. thanks In advanced for the reply.
I would just be careful to keep the exercise light until the area is feeling better. No need to push it with heavy weights until the shoulder has healed.
Uhhhh thank you so much. 😭😭😭😭
I was in pain for so long and now I can move my shoulder. After a few minutes of rubbing I feel like I almost have my full range of motion back.😭
Glad it helped my friend. Good luck!
Is this exercise suitable if you have an moderate AC separation ? im trying to avoid surgery if I can , thanks
How long ago did the injury occur?
@@OcraMedHealth thanks for reply, it was about three months ago , still pain and restricted movement
@@nonegiven9579 if your doctor has already evaluated it, the techniques on the video should be fine to perform. Let me know how it goes. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth thank you 👍
Hi, five and a half years ago a car crashed into the back of me. I was stationary, and this sent me rotated to the left. R elbow impacted into the steering wheel. Sending the shock into my shoulder, dislocating my R clavicle and injuring the first rib.
I have not slept properly for the entire time, and have suffered from an embolic CVA, devastated my life, r side of the brain following on from a Cortisone injection. It has taken them 5 years to do any investigations. Yet watching your video, and a few others I have stretched my scalene on both sides, and just used your AC compression mobilisation technique.
I will keep on this these.
Do you have anything like this of the first rib, T1 to 8 as this is still hell?
Sorry to hear about your injury. Definitely continue with the mobilization techniques. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific videos for the 1st rib. Good luck with your recovery!
I fell in soap and hold my hand. To drum beside and my left shoulder just went inside its cavity i felt and i immediately tried to bring my elbow close and i felt it fit back and consulted local massager and they said nothing happend but now even after 2-3 years my hand muscles are not growing and neck to shoulder muscle is tight allot and left neck muscles are less grown and elbow pains sometimes and bicep and tricep and deltoid muscles aren't growing on left but right is good growth plz help
Sounds like you may need some professional therapy. In the meantime, you can try the techniques from the video for a few weeks and see if they provide some relief. Good luck!
Do you recommend this for a acromioclavicular separation?i have a left slight elevation left clavicle, 6 views each acromioclavicular joint slight asymmetrical widening of acromioclavicular and coracoclavicular distances
Not if you just injured it. This isn't a treatment for a new AC joint separation.
When I did that exercise I actually couldn't lift my elbow up and def couldn't pivot my hand up in the second step. Was too painful. Could that mean its an impingement instead of an AC problem?
If you can't perform the techniques demonstrated you should have the injury evaluated. Could be a number of different types of injuries.
Will it eventually go away for good mines been killing me for months now?
It's hard to say. Give the techniques a try for a few weeks and see if it helps. I would also have the area evaluated by a professional if you haven't done so. Good luck!
Great video
Thanks! Appreciate it.
sir can you understand what kind of symptom does this resemble to? i have had my left ring finger shake for quite few months, then it disappeared. Then that problem went to left foot...4th toe...if I were to spread my toes for sometime, i observe it starts shaking, and its always pulsating mildly from within with a bit of pain...is this some nerve blockage issue? sometimes even for left foot it goes away, but then again comes back....
Sounds like something that really should be evaluated by a professional. Good luck my friend!
Thanks for this video. If this joint is sore could it refer pain to the biceps muscle?
Well the origin of the bicep is in the general area which is why the pain is there. One tendon attaches to the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula while the other attaches to the coracoid process of the scapula.
My shoulder right now is so bad..
I throw a stone and then Bang my left shoulder is totally locked! I cant move it properly.
Hoping you give me some advice to do.
Good luck! Hope it helps! If the pain continues you should definitely have a doctor/therapist in your area check it out. Keep me posted!
I just fell and saw ortho dr he says stage one but looks like a two or three. What should I do? When should I start this massage?
Have you tried working out with it yet? How long ago did you fall?
exactly what I needed to see
considering I'm re-habing biceps tendinitis, that also pulls into the pec. front delt and trap, right shoulder
it never had a pop before
and less than bi-lateral clavicles ( and uneven shoulders) (for as long as I can remember)
this is one to re-watch and play along with . . .
TY
Glad I could help!
I dont injury i have on my shoulder but one time im carrying a heavy thing when i will carry the thing my shoulder pop after that because im a volleyball player when i spike on my right hand its hurts so bad like my shoulder is so weak can you say what injury is that and when i rotate my shoulder it sound like pop and cracking sound is this a ac joint ? Please answer my question 😔 and can i go to chiropractor to help me fix my shoulder? Its been 1 year or 2 years that my shoulder cracks every time i rotate
It's hard for me to say what is injured without performing an exam on the area. Find a good sports chiropractor/therapist in your area and have it checked out. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth thank you very much for replying
I was doing curls 4 years ago and my shoulder was injured and it still hurts to this day is it possible to repair. And I work at UPS now we're moving packages all day and it really hurts. Also I'm 42 years old
I've helped many patients with soft tissue injuries that they had for many years. These type of injuries are often very fixable when treated properly. Good luck my friend!
