There are many patients with shoulder and back pain, and the common cause is local bone or soft tissue disease in the shoulder and back. Others include pain caused by organ diseases reflecting to the shoulder and back or tumors in other parts metastasizing to the shoulder and back. Therefore, shoulder and back pain may be just a symptom, not the real cause. Clinically, it can be seen that without finding out the cause, shoulder pain is treated with shoulder, back pain is treated with back, massage, scraping, cupping, etc., which leads to misdiagnosis and mistreatment, and patients lose the best treatment opportunity.
