Trigger point therapy - Sternocleidomastoid

24/4/2018

 
The sternocleidomastoid muscle commonly abbreviated as SCM is a paired muscle in the superficial layers of the side of the neck. It is one of the largest and most superficial cervical muscles. The primary actions of the muscle are rotation of the head to the opposite side and flexion of the neck. The sternocleidomastoid is innervated by the accessory nerve.

​The function of this muscle is to rotate the head to the opposite side or obliquely rotate the head.  When both sides of the muscle act together, it flexes the neck and extends the head. When one side acts alone, it causes the head to rotate to the opposite side and flexes laterally to the same side

Trigger points in the SCM are very common.
Symptoms include 
  • Tension headache,
  • Muscles sore to touch,
  • Persistent, dry, tickly cough,
  • Partial paralysis of trapezius muscle if the SCM traps the cranial nerve XI.

Causes of trigger points include:
  • Stress to the SCM, as in lots of overhead activities eg. Painting a ceiling, looking up for long periods of time, swimming strokes, horse riding and handling and wearing a necktie too tight,
  • Poor posture, forward head posture, poor ergonomics, using a computer especially a laptop, reading in bed, sleeping with too many pillows, having the head turned to the side or back for long periods of time,
  • Injuries or sudden jerks to the head eg. Whiplash,
  • Improper breathing and tight pectoralis major muscle,
  • Chronic or acute infections eg. Sinusitis or flu and
  • Structural problems, keeping balance eg. Scoliosis or leg length discrepancy.
