SHOULDER ABDUCTION RELIEF SIGN

NECK AND ARM PAIN

Shoulder Abduction Relief sign.(SAR) Does placing your hand on your head relieve the pain in your arm?

ARM PAIN ...





Abduction? Simply raising your arm at the side of your body. Abducting the arm, and placing your hand on your head takes the stretch off the nerve in your neck. If you have a pinched nerve, then this will relieve the pain in your arm.

If it worsens the pain, then you probably have a shoulder anatomy problem.


SHOULDER ANATOMY ...




AGGRAVATE -VS- RELIEVE


More usually, shoulder abduction will aggravate the pain your arm and shoulder. Then it's NOT a pinched nerve.

The pain from a pinched nerve in the neck may be very severe, a deep numb ache in the arm, often worse at night. The only position to gain relief may be to place your hand on your head, or sleep with your arm under your head.

This is a serious problem. It's best to get to your chiropractor as soon as possible.




SLIPPED DISK

Some understanding of the anatomy of the neck will help your understanding of this nasty condition. NECK PAIN ... The nerve can also be irritated by a first rib subluxation, a slipped disk in the neck, arthritis in the neck, and other conditions like a cervical facet syndrome. Mostly chiropractic is the treatment of choice. Traction may also help as an adjunctive treatment, though the research indicates that on its own traction is not effective.
