what is axial traction in layman terms?
Often such pain is due to compression of a nerve in the cervical area. The pain reflects itself under the shoulder blade, although that is not where the injury is.
When you have the pain, have someone apply axial traction. If the pain diminishes, the problem is cervical nerve compression. Spinal stenois is usually a co-factor. Treatment is generally mild anto-inflammatories, intermittant axial traction (five to ten minutes several times a day) and range-of-motion exercises for the head.
