The musculocutaneous nerve is a mixed nerve, with both, motor💪 and sensory🪶⚡️ innervation.

The sensory branch of the musculocutaneous nerve is called the "lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve".
➡️It provides sensation to the skin on the lateral or radial side of the forearm, from the elbow to the wrist - as you see it in the picture.

🤫💡Do you remember, which muscle can cause an entrapment of the musculocutaneous nerve❓️❔️❓️

Do you know that Problem?
You are concentrated and your neck is in a real uncomfortable position for a long time!😩
And what is the result? ⚡️Neck pain⚡️and sometimes stiffness in the neck.
⁠
So if that happens, one muscle to check🔎 for trigger points is the upper part of the trapezius muscle.
And if you find triggerpints there, treat them with dry needling - you will have excellent results😊💪

☝️And of course, remember to adapt your posture, you sitting position👩‍💻and if necessary, use a helping gadget🎧️😄

👉️Here is the answer:

1 latisimus dorsi muscle✔️
2 teres major musle✔️

Congratulations🎉
You've done a good job!👍️

Can you identify these two muscles❓️❔️❓️

Surface anatomy is essential for dry needling and manual trigger point therapy 🤓

A presize pincer grip🤌 is essential for safe 🦺and effective 💪dry needling techniques.

👉️For the upper part of the levator scapulae muscle, it is therefore important, to differentiate it from the upper part of the trapezius muscle.

Therefore, it is essential to know the fibre direction 🔀of these two muscles.

👉️Here you see, how to find🔎 the upper part of the levator scapulae muscle in side lying position.

Presize anatomy is essential for safe🦺 and effective 💪 dry needling techniques.

🤓That's why anatomy technique is a very important part of our DGSA courses.

👉️It's important to know the nerve projection areas, as in our daily treatment routine, like this we can differentiate where our patients’ pain could coming from: is the pain coming from a a nerve projection area ⚡️❓️ or if it is the referred pain pattern of the muscle🦵❓️.

👋So here you see the sensitive innervation area of the deep peroneal nerve:
it supplies sensation to the skin inbetween the first and second toe🦶.

In our practice, vastus lateralis muscle is one of the most commonly treated muscles of the body.

The pain⚡️the patients describe is local over the muscle and around the patella🦵.

👉️And as you remember, also glutaeus medius and minimus muscle can reffer pain into this area🤫.

❗️So it's always important, to check ✔️both muscles for triggerpoints with patients that have pain in this area.

22/08/2025

Here is the answer:⁠
⁠
1 biceps brachii muscle✔️⁠
2 brachialis muscle✔️⁠
3 triceps brachii muscle, lateral head✔️⁠
4 triceps brachii muscle, medial head✔️⁠
5 triceps brachii muscle, long head✔️⁠
⁠
Congratulations 👏🎉 good job!

Dry Needling Anatomy💪

Can you identify these muscles in the upper arm?

As 3-dimensional anatomy🧭 is essential for dry needling, cross section pictures🥩🙃 are great to improve knowledge🤓

16/08/2025

🤓That's how we teach anatomy at our courses - here for the deltoid muscle with it's three parts🧩🧩🧩:

📍The origin of the anterior part (A) is the lateral third of clavicle, of the lateral or medial part (M) it is the acromion and the of the posterior part it is the lateral third of the spine of the scapula.

All parts insert at the deltoid tuberosity🏁.
