The median nerve passes between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle into the forearm ↙️⁠

This is, where Trigger points in the pronator teres muscle can cause an entrapment of the median nerve 😫⚡️⁠

As the entrapment in this area is not such a common condition, it is maybe easily overlooked and mistaken for the more prevalent carpal tunnel syndrome.🕵️⁠

💡So don't forget to check this muscle in any case, when symptoms in relation to the median nerve occur✔️

The median nerve is a mixed nerve, that provides motor💪 functions to the forearm, wrist and hand and sensory🪶⚡️function to the hand.⁠
It is the only nerve, that passes through the carpal tunnel and can be compressed there, what can result in a carpal tunnel syndrome.⁠

The sensory branches of the median nerve provide sensation to the skin of the palmar and dorsal side of the hand and finger - as you can see it in the picture.⁠

🤫💡So now I have one question for you:⁠
Do you remember, which muscle can cause an entrapment of the median nerve in the area of the upper forearm❓️❔️❓️

Safety in dry needling is the highest priority for the DGSA ⚠️

That's why it is very important to know, where the course of nerves are running in the body - and that's what we show you at our courses 👈️

As we don't want to hit any nerves with dry needling⚡️

Learn more about safety in dry needling at our courses and in our 100+ dry needling video tutorials 🎞️⁠💪

👉️Here you see the referred pain⚡️ pattern of the rhomboideus muscle.

Trigger points in this muscle can provide pain in the interscapular region and along of the medial border of the scapula - like a «Superficial Backache»😣

So beside other muscles in this area, check🔎 the rhomboideus muscle for your patients with interscapular pain👍️

A bit of Anatomy💪🤔

The rhomboideus muscle has its origin📍 at the spinous processes from C7 to T5, and inserts📍 at medial border of the scapula.

👉️ It is therefore one of the "interscapular" muscles and has multiple functions in this region, such as:

🔹adduction and elevation of the scapula,
🔹downward rotation of the scapula, means that the glenoid fossa goes downward,
🔹stabilization of the scapula in retraction,
🔹prevention of winging of the scapula,
🔹rotation of the spine to the opposite side,
🔸and as bilateral action: extension of the spine.

🤫👉️Here you see how we treat rhomboideus muscle in side lying position on the ipsilateral side.

⚠️It is important, that in this position, the scapula is winged enought❗️

Like that and with the correct✔️ needle direction away from the thorax, the lung, as the main precaution, is safe🦺👍️
