Struggling with persistent shoulder pain that you just can’t seem to fix? Dr. Joe DeMarco, chiropractor and owner of OcraMed Health, uncovers a hidden cause—sternoclavicular joint pain—and shows you how to address it.
The shoulder, often referred to as the shoulder girdle or shoulder complex, relies on proper movement of the sternoclavicular (SC) joint, where the clavicle (collarbone) meets the sternum. When the SC joint becomes dysfunctional, it restricts clavicle motion, leading to shoulder pain, stiffness, and dysfunction. This can contribute to chronic shoulder issues or acute injuries.
In this FREE injury rehab and prevention Youtube video, Dr. Joe explains how sternoclavicular joint dysfunction affects shoulder mechanics. He demonstrates SC joint mobilization techniques and SC joint exercises, including soft tissue release for the clavicle and SC joint. These methods help restore normal movement, reduce pain, and improve shoulder function.
