Why is it important?
This case report describes an effective multimodal therapy approach for a 63-year-old man who presented with severe right shoulder pain and right scapular winging, which are uncommon manifestations of PTS.
Perspectives
The patient participated in a multidisciplinary treatment program that included spinal manipulation, physiotherapy, magnetic muscle stimulation, and scraping therapy, all customized specifically for his distinct symptoms and underlying neuromuscular issues. Shoulder stability, range of motion, and pain relief all improved significantly after an eight-week treatment. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a multimodal rehabilitation strategy in treating such complex conditions and adds to the limited literature on the management of PTS with neuralgic amyotrophy. It stresses the significance of a comprehensive therapy approach, utilizing multiple therapeutic modalities to restore patient neuromuscular function. Further investigation is needed to corroborate these results through controlled studies.
