let’s talk about rhomboid pain on the

scapula on the right side also you have

one on the left side we’re primarily

going to be talking about the one on the

right side either if there’s pain or

tightness or soreness you may think that

you just need to lay on a tennis ball or

get it massaged or do some type of

stretching exercise but you may find

that if you do that it comes right back

about an hour later I used to have

rhomboid pain for literally years and I

had no idea what it was being a

chiropractor I thought everything was

basically a bone out of place and you

just adjust it and the problem’s gone I

wish I would have known what I know now

back then because the actual cause was

referred from something else like when

you step in a dog’s tail he barks

through his mouth right are you gonna

mess with the mouth no you’re going to

take the pressure off the tail so a lot

of people with muscular problems in one

part of their body don’t realize that it

can be referred from a completely

different area and so there’s this one

nerve called the dorsal scapular nerve

it comes out of the fifth cervical

vertebra and it connects to the rhomboid

as well as another muscle called the

levator scapula muscle which is right

here just beneath your trap so that one

nerve coming from C5 connects to this

muscle

and your rhomboid and if there’s any

pressure on that nerve you can have

discomfort in those areas where it’s

just it’s always irritating it’s always

tight it’s always in a spasm but what I

didn’t know at the time I had this

problem was there’s another connection

to those group of nerves in this lower

part of the neck called the phrenic

nerve so the phrenic nerve goes from the

diaphragm from your neck all the way

down to the diaphragm the front part

here on both sides and when it connects

to the neck it connects to several

nerves and so if there’s a

problem

in the diaphragm area

that can send signals back up to your

neck and cause a little tension causing

a little bit of a rotation an irritation

to the nerve and keep you with tightness

in those two muscles on the right side

and any amount of massager or trigger

point therapy is never going to fully

resolve it well today I’m going to show

you exactly how to resolve it I will say

there maybe five percent of the time

there’s an actual problem in those

muscles that you need to do some

stretching and I’m going to show you a

really good way to handle that but the

great majority of the time the problem

is at the bottom part of the phrenic

nerve underneath your diaphragm in an

area involving

three things one is the gallbladder

two is the little tubes that connect the

gallbladder with the liver those are

called bile ducts and three your liver

you could have any number of problems

you can have gallstones you can have an

irritation with the gallbladder you can

have bile sludge that is causing

distension in your tubes the bile ducts

that’s called choleostasis and that

really comes from a lacobile or you can

actually have an enlargement in the

liver that’s called a padomegaly and

that can actually even come from having

a fatty liver if you’ve ever heard of

foie gras which is a French word what

they basically do is force feed like

corn or other grains into these geese or

a duck to fatten up the liver and that

liver can enlarge by 10 times okay so

when we eat corn or carbs or sugars our

livers also get fatty and they can

enlarge to the point where they can

press on that nerve as well and cause

that same problem on the right side and

of course some people watching this

video might have the problem on the left

side well this same thing applies

because if you have this sludge blocking

the bowel ducts

uh right by your gallbladder they do

cross over to the pancreatic tubes and

ducts and it can cause a backup in the

pancreas as well causing the pain on the

left side and the back part the same

thing I’m going to talk about applies to

whether you have it on the right side or

the left side so the real problem with

this pain back here is either a problem

with the gallbladder the baldex or your

liver you can do a real simple

experiment to figure this out you can

massage or press underneath your right

rib cage right where your gallbladder is

about an inch down and an inch off the

midline okay to the right and just start

massaging this area it’ll be a little

bit sore but if you massage it for like

10 seconds it should give you relief on

your right shoulder area into the

rhomboid now the pain and discomfort

will come right back but just the fact

that it produces from really it tells

you there’s something going on in the

right lower area whether it could be the

gallbladder or bile deck liver we don’t

know yet but my suggestion is just to

start eating to improve that whole area

avoiding certain things and eating

certain things to improve it to the

point where that problem completely goes

away and I can tell you from first-hand

experience I no longer have that problem

because I changed my diet so what are

the top foods that irritate the liver

the bile ducts and the gallbladder

grains then you also have sugars and you

have omega-6 oils and they’re very

irritating to your your gallbladder and

your liver and they’re inflammatory so

if you were to go out to a restaurant

and order something deep fried they’re

going to use some of these oils in the

process and when you eat them you’re

going to feel bloated underneath the

right rib cage and you’re going to feel

tension in those muscles eventually and

then you also have other things that are

deep fried like chips just take a look

at what the ingredients are it’s going

to be some type of oil they fry the corn

or the potato in and that would also

aggravate it other foods that are high

in omega-6 would be the nut Butters

almond butter peanut butter but any of

the nuts could irritate this area as

well then you have alcohol that can

irritate it junk Foods processed foods

heavy meals eating frequently keeping

your whole digestive tract filled with

food all the time is going to be very

irritating to this area it’s going to

cause the liver to have to work

constantly creating more problems so

those are all the big culprits now what

I recommend is to have

moderate amount of protein with your

meals okay not necessarily eat high fat

but don’t avoid saturated fats but eat

high quality protein like from eggs fish

grass-fed Meats things like that as well

as consuming a good amount of vegetables

or salad at the same time you’re eating

these proteins and fats so have your big

salad okay first and then have your

protein or fat with each meal the

vegetables or the fiber and the

vegetables will help you to increase the

flow of cholesterol through the liver

and through the bile ducts and the

vegetables are really really good for

the liver in general eating just meat or

fat without vegetables is a bit hard on

the liver and of course when you cook

the heck out of the vegetables and don’t

eat them raw you don’t get to have the

enzymes in those raw vegetables to help

you and then the other thing that’s

really important is not to eat soap

frequent do intermittent fasting there’s

a couple things I’m going to recommend

to help

um

thin the bile to allow things to kind of

flow through there’s a product that you

can just look online and get it Amazon

is called tadka

t-u-d-c-a so tatka is a type of bile

salt that helps to thin the bile you

would take two of those in the morning

on an empty stomach and two in the

afternoon on an empty stomach in

addition to that find a good bile salt

supplement that you can take with a meal

and you would take two of those after

the meal so now this extra bile will

just help to take the relief off the

liver the gallbladder and the bowel

ducts and allow bile to flow through

this area nicely and you’re going to

find over the course of a week or two

weeks there’s going to be a lot of

relief in this back part so that

solution is pretty much going to handle

like 95 percent of all cases let’s say

there’s problems in that actual area

because of your posture the way you’re

sitting with the computer or an injury

for that I would recommend getting the

mobility sticks these are really cool

exercise I don’t know if you call them

tools or exercise equipment there’s

these sticks that you can do

these amazing stretching exercises I

recently got them and I love them I’m

not affiliated with the company but I’m

going to put a link down below to check

them out because the exercises you can

do with these are amazing for not just

for your rhomboid and the muscles up

through in the shoulder but for the

entire body I’m always investigating

different pieces of equipment and

different exercises and I really like

this one a lot now since we’re on the

topic of referred pain okay there’s a

really interesting video that talks

about other parts of your body that are

painful that are the cause is not coming

from where you think it is and if you

haven’t seen this video I put it up

right here check it out
