Here are 6 tips that I hope will help your patients suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome. I also use various modalities (laser, dry needling, shockwave, etc) when appropriate to complement treatment. Something will work for someone, but not everything will work for everyone. #ChadGOrthoOT

💪 Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) Pain – Overview
🧠 What is the Sternocleidomastoid (SCM)?
The SCM is a prominent neck muscle that runs from the sternum and clavicle to the mastoid process behind the ear. It plays a key role in:
* Neck rotation
* Neck flexion
* Assisting with breathing (accessory muscle)
⸻
⚠️ Common Causes of SCM Pain
* Poor posture (forward head position)
* Prolonged desk or phone use
* Sleeping in awkward positions
* Overuse (lifting, sports)
* Sudden strain or whiplash-type mechanisms
* Jaw clenching or stress-related tension
⸻
🔥 Common Symptoms
* Localized neck pain and tightness
* Headaches (often tension-type or cervicogenic patterns)
* Pain referral to the face, behind the ear, or around the eye
* Dizziness or a sense of imbalance
* Pain with head rotation or sustained positions
⸻
🧠 Clinical Insight
SCM-related pain is often associated with:
* Forward head posture
* Overactivation of superficial neck musculature
* Underutilization of deep cervical stabilizers
* Altered movement patterns and motor control deficits
Symptoms can mimic other conditions such as:
* cervicogenic headache
* tension-type headache
* temporomandibular joint dysfunction
⸻
🚩 When to Be Cautious
* Persistent or worsening dizziness
* Visual disturbances or neurological symptoms
* Symptoms following trauma (e.g., motor vehicle accident)
* Severe or unrelenting headaches
