Dorsal Scapular Neuropathy (DSN) is a frequently overlooked condition that can lead to chronic upper back pain, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. This presentation aims to shed light on this under-recognised neuropathy by exploring current literature and its implications for clinical practice.

We will examine the etiology of DSN and its intricate connections to other musculoskeletal conditions. By understanding these relationships, we can develop more accurate and effective assessment protocols. We will review evidence-based diagnostic techniques, emphasising their reliability and applicability in various clinical settings.

We will focus on treatment strategies for DSN for myotherapists, including well-established protocols and emerging therapeutic approaches. By evaluating their efficacy through the lens of recent research, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of current best practices. This analysis will include manual therapy techniques, exercise prescriptions, and innovative interventions that show promise in managing DSN.

This presentation is a comprehensive review of Dorsal Scapular Neuropathy, offering clinicians practical knowledge to improve their assessment and treatment of this often misdiagnosed condition.
