❓Why would you treat SCM?
❓What are the safety risks?
❓How do make a patient comfortable with you treating a muscle in the front of their neck with a needle?

All good questions!

➡️SCM is a major player in headaches, TMD, vestibular dysfunction, sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular dysfunction.
➡️Crossing the muscle is the external jugular and a number of important nerves. Just medial and posterior to the muscle lies the carotid artery. And inferior to it lies the lungs. All things you would want to steer clear of with your needle.

👊Learn the safest, most comfortable way to needle SCM on an upcoming Beyond Foundations course.

🧬Safety....It’s in our DNA.

When someone has failed previous PT, ask questions, dig deeper. Maybe that PT did all the things you would initially do. What is missing?
🪏Dig deeper.

(+) myotomes (even in the absence of spine pain or hx of spine pain) are often a gold mine for changing up a patient’s response to their treatment. A spinal issue doesn’t even have to have come first. Sometimes a (+) myotome develops due to persistence of pain in a region. But if gone untreated, it continues to contribute to the issue. It made all the difference for this patient.

Learn cervical multifidus, infraspinatus and deltoid on an upcoming Foundations in Dry Needling course.

Digging Deep. It’s in our DNA.

The way you initially learn dry needling shapes how you'll use it long-term.

If clinical reasoning, anatomy, and safety aren’t emphasized from the start, they’re hard to build later.

Establish good habits early, so you can create maximum impact with confidence!
