Uneven Shoulders
"Uneven shoulders" denotes the difference in height between the two shoulders, where one sits slightly higher than the other when standing upright.
Numerous factors can contribute to the occurrence of uneven shoulders. Here are some prevalent reasons:
- Unilateral weight bearing.
- Shoulder injuries.
- Prolonged poor posture.
Deterioration of uneven shoulders can result in several severe consequences:
- Reduced motor function: Inconsistent shoulder height can impact shoulder stability and strength, thereby influencing athletic performance.
- Nerve issues: Chronic shoulder asymmetry may result in nerve compression, causing numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms.
